Question

This question already has an answer here:

• .htaccess php Rewrite view.php?visopslag=(id) 2 answers

I have used my .htaccess file to add www. to index url , remove .php and remove ?id= from URLs.

This is original url:

www.site.com/article.php?id=12&title=title-text

Url with .htaccess code

www.site.com/article/12

This code have removed &title=title-text from url.

How to remove &title= without title-text? Like this:

www.site.com/article/12/title-text

.htaccess file

I am assuming that article.php doesn't actually need the title to operate, only the id. You can only add the title to the url if the title exists in the url in the first place. You can leave out the second rule if title is always in the url.

# To externally redirect /dir/foo.php?id=123&title=456 to /dir/123/456
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\s([^.]+)\.php\?id=([^&]+)&title=([^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2/%3? [R,L]

# To externally redirect /dir/foo.php?id=123 to /dir/123
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\s([^.]+)\.php\?id=([^&\s]+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2? [R,L]

# To internally forward /dir/foo/12 to /dir/foo.php?id=12
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/([^/]+)(/[^/]+)?/?$ $1.php?id=$2 [L,QSA]

Furthermore, article.php should check $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and perform a redirect if the title is not in it:

<?php
  $id = intval( $_GET['id'] );
  $title = titleById( $id );

  $parsedurl = explode( "/", $url );
  if( $parsedurl[3] != $title ) {
    header( "Location: http://www.example.com/article/$id/$title", true, 301 );
    exit();
  }
