htaccess remove index.php and param name from url

Question

I have short url service for a site, which has url like http://example.co?c=xyz. In index.php file parameter is being accessed as $code = $_GET["c"];.

I want to access the same code when i type http://eaxample.co/xyz

.htaccess file config

Options -Multiviews
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) /$1? [R=301, L]

Can anyone please help me to get right rule?

Put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /?c=$1 [L,QSA]

For which URL it is giving 404? Make sure this is in DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess

hemc4 Over a year ago

404 for example.co/SAA. I am sure it is in root. I have only 2 files in root index.php and .htacess only

is SAA is not a file/directory then above rule will internally rewrite that to example.com/?c=SAA Can you load the content using example.com/?c=SAA?

Ok now back to basics. Are you sure .htaccess and mod_rewrite are enabled & working?

If you want, that query string will be working you must to add QSA flag in yours rewriterule.

When the replacement URI contains a query string, the default behavior of RewriteRule is to discard the existing query string, and replace it with the newly generated one. Using the [QSA] flag causes the query strings to be combined.

Options -Multiviews
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) /$1? [R=301, L, QSA]
