Recipe 5.11 Replacing Text in Requested URLs
Problem
You want to change all
occurrences of
string1 to
string2 in a request's
URI.
Solution
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "string1"
RewriteRule "(.*)string1(.*)" "$1string2$2" [N,PT]
Discussion
The [N] flag tells Apache to rerun the rewrite
rule. This rule will get run repeatedly until the
RewriteCond fails. Thus, it will get rerun as long
as the URL contains the string that you want to replace. As soon as
all occurrences of this string have been replaced, the
RewriteCond will fail, and the rule will stop. The
[PT] tells mod_rewrite to
pass the rewritten URL on to the rest of Apache for any additional
processing once the rewriting is done.
