More HtAccess Rewrite Rules
- by pws5068
Greetings all,
I need help combining some htaccess rewrites, these crazy regular expressions screw with my head.
So I have a folder structure something like this:
/www/mysite.com/page/member/friends.php
/www/mysite.com/page/video/videos.php
/www/mysite.com/page/messages/inbox.php
The URLs get rewritten to this:
mysite.com/member/friends.php
mysite.com/video/videos.php
mysite.com/messages/inbox.php
(Notice the /page/ folder is hidden in the url, but I keep it on the server for better file organization)
The rewrite rules look something like this: (I'm new so correct me if they are flawed)
RewriteRule ^video/(.*)$ /page/video/$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^member/(.*)$ /page/member/$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^messages/(.*)$ /page/messages/$1 [NC]
Now, I also need to do a completely different rewrite to a file called lobby.php inside of the member folder:
After the original rewrites, a sample url looks like:
mysite.com/member/lobby.php?member=pws5068
I need a new rewrite to make it look like this:
mysite.com/pws5068
Thank you for bearing with my super-long question here. How can I make this happen?
