I have tried code given on under topic clean URLs using .htaccess, but it is nor working on my website.

Actually I am getting static content, but not getting parameters (dynamic content.) My .htaccess code is

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^user/([^/]+) /user.php?u=$1

My PHP file (user.php) is:

<?php 
echo "ABC";
echo $_GET['u'];

?>

My URL is:

example.com/simran/user/jack

(getting static contents , but not parameters)

  • Your URL has the "simran" directory in it but the rewrite rule does not. Have you tried putting that into your rewrite rule? Commented Feb 28, 2015 at 11:48

Easiest way is to Change:

RewriteRule ^user/([^/]+) /user.php?u=$1

to:

RewriteRule ^simran/user/([^/]+) /user.php?u=$1 [L]

or for more flexibility you can use:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/user/([^/]+) /user.php?u=$2 [L]

That should make these URL's work

example.com/any1user/user/jack
example.com/simran/user/jack
example.com/user/jack

I changed $1 to $2 because $1 now points to contents before /user and you're interested in contents after /user. The .* means anything including nothing and punctuation.

In all cases, I always recommend suffixing a rule with an L in square brackets because it means don't process any further rules in the list after the rule is processed.
