Using mod_rewrite how can I change the current URL format:
- From:
https://example.com/something/NAME-IN-CAPS/phonebook.xml - To:
https://example.com/anything/whatever/phonebook.php?name=NAME-IN-CAPS
-
Out of interest why would you want to add the string? most people want to remove it for user experience and SEO.– Simon HayterNov 10, 2015 at 12:07

I want to get the phonebook via the php script, i put the name of the user i want to fetch, but the phone is always trailing any url as /phonebook.xml and thats why I need something like this.– Ismaw34Nov 10, 2015 at 12:11

Does the "current URL format" actually return a valid resource?– MrWhiteNov 10, 2015 at 14:53

No, it does not.– Ismaw34Nov 10, 2015 at 15:35

Just take the following example, and rewrite the words something, anything, and whatever to your actual directory names:
RewriteRule something/([-A-Z]+)/phonebook.xml anything/whatever/phonebook.php?name=$1
