I have a simple php form that uses action="index.php", so when the form is submitted I get this: dev.mysite.net/apps/myapp/r4/index.php
But I would like it to display as: dev.mysite.net/apps/myapp/r4/results/
This is what I have so far, but it is not working:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^dev.mysite.net/apps/myapp/r4/index.php? dev.mysite.net/apps/myapp/r4/results/ [NC,L]
I am new to URL rewriting so any help would be great.
You can use this rule in your .htaccess to remove index.php from your URL:
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
# remove index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.php$ /$1 [L,R=302,NC,NE]
Try flipping it around. You're rule says if you match dev.mysite.net/apps/myapp/r4/index.php then send it to dev.mysite.net/apps/myapp/r4/results/ ... but you want it the other way around. You should also leave off the domain and only include the path.
RewriteRule ^apps/myapp/r4/results/$ /apps/myapp/r4/index.php [L]
Here we look for a request for /apps/myapp/r4/results/ and send it to /apps/myapp/r4/index.php without a redirect. If you include a domain on where you want to send the request, even if it's the same domain, it will perform a redirect.
