I have a URL http://localhost/index.php?user=1
. When I add this .htaccess
file
Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^user/(.*)$ ./index.php?user=$1
I will be now allowed to use http://localhost/user/1
link. But how about http://localhost/index.php?user=1&action=update
how can I make it into http://localhost/user/1/update
?
Also how can I make this url http://localhost/user/add
?
Thanks. Sorry I am relatively new to .htaccess
.

Thanks for the idea @denoise and @mogosselin. Also with @stslavik for pointing out some of the drawback of my code example.
Here’s how I do it:
Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^user/([0-9]*)/([a-z]*)$ ./index.php?user=$1&action=$2 RewriteRule ^user/([a-z]*)$ ./index.php?user&action=$1
by using var_dump($_GET);
on the link localhost/user/1234/update
I got
array (size=2) 'user' => string '1234' (length=4) 'action' => string 'update' (length=3)
while localhost/user/add
array (size=2) 'user' => string '' (length=4) 'action' => string 'update' (length=3)
which is my goal. I will just only do other stuffs under the hood with PHP.
