Question

I have a url like below

http://filespecification.phpnet.us/index3.php

But i want to add an additional parameter to this url like below.

http://filespecification.phpnet.us/index3.php?email=

For this i am using .htaccess to redirect with additional parameter but it is not redirecting still show original url.

RewriteRule /index3.php$ index3.php?email=$1 [R]

But it is not working. How can i redirect with additional parameter?

Try this simple one. Hope this will be helpful. I have tested it.

1. QUERY_STRING does not contain email.

2. if request uri is index3.php redirect to /index3.php?email=somevalue

Flags:

R for redirection.

L last redirection.

QSA query string append

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(?!email)
RewriteRule index3.php$ /index3.php?email=somevalue [L,R,QSA]

You can check this .htaccess code here http://htaccess.mwl.be/

it works, can you please explain, what is function of first line? RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$

Hamza Zafeer Over a year ago

nicely understand you, but now i change my your rule to this RewriteRule .*$ /index.php?email= [L,R] means when someone visit http://filespecification.phpnet.us it redirects to http://filespecification.phpnet.us/index.php?email= but all images are not showing.

I got the issue, on your website you have img/Offices.png which is the link of your image, i cant be accessed because you have redirected all requests to index.php

@HamzaZafeer You will get to know the issue, if you try to open this link filespecification.phpnet.us/img/Offices.png Can you explain in brief what you are trying to do.

Your rule isn't working due to the leading slash. You need to remove it.

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !\?email= [NC]
RewriteRule index3.php$ /index3.php?email=mail [L,R]
