Using ISAPI REWRITE v3
I need to replace a string in an URL. The old string is 'p=type1_' and the new is 'p=type2_'. So
http://www.somesite.com/cgi-bin/script.pl?t=something&p=type1_abcde
becomes
http://www.somesite.com/cgi-bin/script.pl?t=something&p=type2_abcde
I reckon this should work:
RewriteRule ^(.*)p=type1_(.*)$ $1p=type2_$2 [NC]
But I get a 'Pattern Not Matched' in the ISAPI_REWRITE RegexTest app as soon as the original string contains a '?' - which, in practice, it always would.
How do I do this simple search and replace?
You will need to use RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} to search the querystring.
Try something like this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} t=(.*)&p=type1_(.*)
RewriteRule ^cgi-bin/script.pl$ cgi-bin/script.pl?t=$1&p=type2_$2 [NC]

I'm trying to get the following path: /faculty/index.php?PID=FirstLast&type=alpha
To rewrite to this: /faculty/FirstLast
Am I correct to assume the following would be acceptable to put in .htaccess?
# Rewrite old URLS
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^PID=([0-9a-zA-Z]*)$
RewriteRule ^/faculty/index.php$ /faculty/%1 [R=302,L]
I'm okay to throw away any other query string variables. I'm applying these rules at the .htaccess file level. This project is a migration from an older system into Drupal.
Outcome:
My .htaccess looks like
# Rewrite old URLS
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} PID=([0-9a-zA-Z]*)
RewriteRule ^faculty/ /faculty/%1/? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} vidID=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^videos/ /video/id/%1/? [R=301,L]
I also found this wonderful tool -- a mod_rewrite tester
http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/
All good!
Try this instead:
RewriteRule ^faculty/index.php$ /faculty/%1? [R=302,L]
The leading slash is not in the URI-path tested in the rule, so can't be in the regex either.
As the query is automatically appended to the substitution URL (passed through unchanged) unless a new query is created in the rule, the trailing question mark ? erases the existing query string when the rule is used.
I am trying to use mod_rewrite RewriteRule, and in my RewriteRule, I am trying to match a URL that has query string that looks like:
http:///myfakeoam/obrareq.cgi?....
My RewriteRule looks like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^wh=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/myfakeoam/obrareq.cgi$ http://apache1.whatever.com/formbasicprotected/index.html [CO=wh:%1:.whatever.com:1440:/]
When I test manually, by manually typing the URL into the browser, that RewriteRule seems to be able match a request if the request looks like:
http:///myfakeoam/obrareq.cgi?wh=xxx&ru=yyyy&....
but, in my actual system, the request is being created by anoher app, and it appears to be URL-encoding (actually URL-encoding twice) the query string (e.g, replacing equal with "%3D", etc.), i.e.:
http:///myfakeoam/obrareq.cgi?wh%3Dxxx....
And if the query string part is URL-encoded like that the pattern match in my RewriteRule is not failing...
Is there any way to handle this situation?
Thanks,
Jim
Answering my own question, I just realized that the RewriteCond was just doing a regex match for the query string, so I changed that to:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^wh%3D(.*)$ [NC]
and then it worked.

site.com/link?p=2
give $_GET['p']==2 even though i've already made
site.com/link
rewrite to
site.com/index.php?page=link
So, i'm trying to replace site.com/link?p=2
with site.com/link&p=2
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*)\?(.*) $1\&$2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\....$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?p=$1
It doesn't work!
RewriteRule cannot see query strings (the ? and anything after it) on the left-hand side; it matches only on the path part of the URL.
But the good news is, all you probably need to do is this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\....$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?p=$1 [QSA]
The QSA option, Query String Add, tells your RewriteRule to add to the query string instead of replacing it (the default behavior, which doubtless prompted the whole issue).
Im trying to forward this url, but its not working - here is my code:
RewriteRule ^https://www.wsjwine.com/discovery_offer.aspx?promo=2227006$ https://www.wsjwine.com/discovery_offer_lp2.aspx?promo=2227006 [L]
With RewriteRule directive you can only test the URL path. For further tests you need to use additional RewriteCond directives.
Now if you want to rewrite every request of /discovery_offer.aspx to /discovery_offer_lp2.aspx regardless of how the query looks like, you can just use this (example for the .htaccess file in the root directory):
RewriteRule ^discovery_offer\.aspx$ discovery_offer_lp2.aspx [L]
If you don’t specify a query in the substitution, the originally requested query is automatically appended to the new one.
And if you just want to rewrite that specific URL, try this:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.wsjwine.com
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =promo=2227006
RewriteRule ^discovery_offer\.aspx$ discovery_offer_lp2.aspx [L]
You can't detect query strings like that. Use RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?ping.php
RewriteRule ^/\?(.*)$ ping.php?url=$1 [L]
i am trying to match any character that follows /?
www.mysite.com/?someurl.com
instead it keeps loading the index.html !
You cannot match the query string with mod_rewrite, but if you still want to pass it on, you can add %{QUERY_STRING} to the resultant url, for example
RewriteRule ^.*$ ping.php?url=%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
