How can I rewrite any .htms in a directory to pass their names as an argument to a PHP file?

Question

I have a bunch of pages that need static URL paths, for example:

foo/bar/fooey/qwertyuiop.htm

However, these pages don't exist. They are all the same except with slightly different variables.

So I created /foo/bar/details.php, which takes the parameters "id" and "type".

Any ideas how I can make a Rewrite rule that redirects all .htms in /foo and it's subdirectories to details.php, like this:

/foo/bar/fooey/abc123.htm     --> /foo/bar/details.php?id=abc123

/foo/bar/xyzzy/hellothere.htm --> /foo/bar/details.php?id=hellothere

and

/foo/bar/applepie/check_pie_status.htm?type=peach

would be rewritten to

/foo/bar/details.php?id=check_pie_status&type=peach

In other words, any requested .htm would be rewritten to that PHP file, without the client seeing it.

Answer 1

Put this in the /foo/bar/ folder's htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(?:[^/]+/|)([^/.]+)\.htm$ details.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

Answer 2

Using .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ details.php?id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Answer 3

put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^([^/]+/[^/]+)/.*?/([^/.]+)\.htm$ $1/details.php?id=$2 [L,QSA,NC]

Answer 4

its sounds like a landing page issue..

from my experience i can offer those ideas:

1. create a different folder path using Nginx sites-enable folder at /etc/site-enable. this will allow to attach a certain domain to a folders path or to create a general rule that will send any /foo to a certein path.

2. create script that loads a specific folder for every domain. i think that a DB using domain as a key with a path txt is the best solution.. this is a bit of system design issue.

3. calling to the path using Reg-ex at your main index php file extracting this data from $_SERVER URI..
