  1. POHow to remove a category from url?
    text
    copied!<p>Now I have <em>urls</em> such as:</p> <pre><code>mysite.com/category/football mysite.com/category/volleyball mysite.com/category/hockey </code></pre> <p>And it corresponds to the rule:</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule ^category/([^/]*)$ category/index.php?name=$1 [L,QSA] </code></pre> <p>But also I have other pages like: <code>mysite.com/feedback</code> or something...</p> <p>How to remove <code>category</code> from url not affecting other pages?</p> <p>If I'll do the rule like this:</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?category=$1 [L] </code></pre> <p>Every other page will be a category, maybe it must be something like this:</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule ^(football|volleyball|hockey)$ category/index.php?category=$1 [L,QSA] </code></pre> <p>But categories can be different. The admin can add new category or remove|change old.</p> <p><strong>update</strong></p> <p>I did an example in files:</p> <p><strong>feedback/index.php</strong></p> <pre><code> &lt;h1&gt;Feedback&lt;/h1&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>.htaccess</strong></p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ category.php?category=$1 [L,QSA] </code></pre> <p><strong>category.php</strong></p> <pre><code>// controller category echo "This is a Category: &lt;br /&gt;"; if (isset($_GET['category']) and !empty($_GET['category'])) { echo "&lt;b&gt;".$_GET['category']."&lt;/b&gt;"; } </code></pre> <p><strong>index.php</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="/football"&gt;Football&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="/volleyball"&gt;Volleyball&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="/hockey"&gt;Hockey&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;a href="/feedback"&gt;Feedback&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>So u can feel this trouble.</p>
