Hypertext Access, commonly shortened to htaccess, is a configuration file which controls the directory it is placed in and all the subdirectories underneath it. It’s an incredibly useful feature which allows webmasters to control how many aspects of their website works. You can redirect pages, change the extensions of pages, password protect directories and much much more.
So here I write “Rewriting tip using .htaccess” file and how to “Redirect sub domain to sub folder”.
Rewriting tip using .htaccess:
Let us take an example,
suppose Original URL:
Eg:http://twitter.com/followers.php?id=qualitytuts
and we want our Rewriting URL like below:
Eg:http://twitter.com/qualitytuts/followers
Below is the .htaccess Code for the above example
[php]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/\followers$ followers.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/\following$ following.php?id=$1
[/php]
Redirect sub domain to sub folder:
[php]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^demos\.qualitytuts\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/demos/
RewriteRule (.*) /demos/$1
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^labs\.qualitytuts\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/labs/
RewriteRule (.*) /labs/$1
[/php]
In the above code you have to replace your sub-domain and directory name.
