htaccess rewrites
| Posted by Adam Hallett, 12-28-2007, 03:58 PM | | I want to convert download.php?hash=
to /downloads/hash
The hash query variable is 32 characters in length and composed of both upper case and lowecase letters and numbers.
This is what I have so far, but it isn't working.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^download.php?hash=(.*)$ /downloads/$1

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /downloads/$1 ^download.php?hash=$1
At least thats how I do mine...

I dont know much about htaccess but you have to then change the URLs itself, htaccess then just makes a cover up.

| Posted by Adam Hallett, 12-29-2007, 12:29 PM | | I just tried that and it didn't work. I used the code you provided and I've got a blank php script named, "download.php" in the directory.

Right, the first address us the "fake" one and the second is like the "real" one. But it should be:
RewriteRule ^downloads/(.+)$ download.php?hash=$1
or better yet since if the hash is always 32 alphanumeric characters long:
RewriteRule ^downloads/([a-ZA-Z0-9]{32})$ download.php?hash=$1
When you are debbuing it is helpful to put an [R] in the RewriteRule which will send a redirect to your browser (and so the url in the address bar should change) rather than silently rewriting it.
RewriteRule ^downloads/(.+)$ download.php?hash=$1 [R]
