How can I make it so that my htaccess rules return a 404 when invalid urls are entered into the address bar.
The two rules that are causing this
RewriteRule ^submit/([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)$ /submit?c=$1&i=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^test/([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ /test?c=$1&i=$2&q=$3 [L]
Both the rules work fine when a correct url is entered but say for example one of the last parameters is not a number, it returns a 500 error.
How can I make it so that if these rules are not matched then it'll return a 404.
To further clarify take the following url test/cooking/9/1
is valid. So is submit/cooking/9
.
It returns 500 with urls that dont match the rewrite such as these, 'test/cooking/9/1/1,
submit/0/0/0`, I would like it to return a 404 if the rules outlined above are NOT matched.
