[SOLVED] Htaccess redirects

[Blake121]

I have an htaccess file set up to mod_rewrite my query string. Currently I have this :

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ play.php?id=$1

Now this would redirect from /play.php?id=20 to /20.

But it also means you can access it at /20/ which I don't want.

How would I update my file to redirect back to just /20 if the visitor arrives at the location with a trailing slash?

Thanks guys. This ones really doing my head in.

Use the following code to access how the file is accessed:

PHP: Select all

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; 

This would give "/20/".
You could do something like so:

PHP: Select all

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] != "/20") {
header("Location: /20");
}

That's such a simple solutions. Works perfectly.

Cheers mate.

Don't know why I didn't think of that myself
