I have a quick question for programmers or server admins - GoFuckYourself.com

Let say I want to make a rule in htaccess that when a user types mydomain.com/xxxxxxx
it will redirect them to another site otherdomain.com/folder/xxxxxxx/folder...

so basically its taking what they put after the url and inserting it in another url that it will redirect them to.

what's the best way to go about this? thanks in advance

Mod Rewrite FTW

Redirect /folder http://www.example.com/newfolder

Persius · 05-27-2011, 05:54 PM

to clarify

the xxxxxxx = different each time (username)

He's not trying to do a regular redirect... he wants the the id in the url to carry over within the url it will be redirected to.

you'll need some PHP for that.

Can be done with mod_rewrite exclusively.

fris · 05-27-2011, 08:18 PM

maybe something like this?

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)$ http://otherdomain.com/folder/$1/folder [NC,R=301,L]

(removes www from domain, not really needed)

Thank you Fris, EXACTLY what we were looking for... BUT do you know how we can make it work if the variable also has dashes in it.
This does not work if its something like domain.com/xx-xxxx-xxxxx ...we need it to work in both situations.

Barry-xlovecam · 05-27-2011, 09:08 PM

Code:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/(.*)$ http://static.askapache.com/$1

thanks that worked too but it also redirects the typeins to the domain that dont have anything after .com/

I got Fris's code to work by adding a - after the 9 in the rewrite rule... RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)

do you know what line I should put if I want the regular typeins redirected to a whole other site such as just www.yahoo.com ?
