9,910 Pointshow make the rewritecond work with the next path: http://someurl.com/shirts/shirt.php?id=101
I follow the video and this is the result:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /someurl/shirts/%1/? [R=301]
but this just work, when you access on this way: http://someurl.com/shirt.php?id=101 and then redirect to: http://someurl.com/shirts/101/
Instead, I want to access with this way: http://someurl.com/shirts/shirt.php?id=101 and then redirect to: http://someurl.com/shirts/101/
I tried to figure how, with this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirts/shirt.php$ /someurl/shirts/%1/? [R=301]
but this created a infinited redirect loop in my site, when i tried to access: http://someurl.com/shirts/shirt.php?id=101 and then infinite redirect to: http://someurl.com/shirts/101/
if someone can help me how I can solve this, I'll be appreciate. :)
By the way, there is the rest of my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ /someurl/shirts/shirts.php
RewriteRule ^shirts/([0-9]+)/$ /someurl/shirts/shirt.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^contact.php$ /someurl/contact/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^receipt.php$ /someurl/receipt/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^shirts.php$ /someurl/shirts/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(shirts/[0-9]+)$ /someurl/$1/ [R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /someurl/shirts/%1/? [R=301]

Treehouse Guest TeacherIt looks like this should cause an infinite redirect. Line 3 redirects this ...
http://someurl.com/shirts/101/
... to this ...
http://someurl.com/shirt.php?id=101
... and then the last two lines redirect it back to ...
http://someurl.com/shirts/101/
... and then Line 3 kicks in and redirects it back to ...
http://someurl.com/shirt.php?id=101
... and then the last two lines kick in and redirects it back to ...
http://someurl.com/shirts/101/
... and so on.
Does that make sense? You probably want to remove either Line 3 or the last two lines to prevent the redirect you don't want. Does that help?
