I am trying to use apache-rewrite rule to convert the below URL:
http://localhost/foo/bar/news.php?id=24
Into this format:
http://localhost/foo/bar/news/foo-bar
The number 24
is an id
of a random row from a MySQL table, which also contains title
and content
fields.
MariaDB [blog]> select * from articles;
+----+---------+----------+
| id | title | content |
+----+---------+----------+
| 1 | foo-bar | bla bla |
+----+---------+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
I have the following rule inside my .htaccess
:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
^news/([A_Za_z0_9_]+)$ DIRECTORY/AID/news.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
I also have a php code that generates a link like this:
$link = "<a href='news.php?id={$row['id']}'></a>";
echo $link;
However, I can't get the rewrite rule to change the path as the desired end result.
