How to redirct POST request parameters to a URL to another URL through .htaccess

Server Config
1

Hi there

I have read many articles about .htaccess file and I know how to use it the only thing is that
I have one seneraio whom I am not able till yet to handle it using .htaccess file.

suppose I have one url

http://mydomain.com/someURL

and is receiving POST request and some POST parameter suppose param1,param2

what I want is that when I hit this URL

http://mydomain.com/someURL with POST request then it will redirect to
http://mydomain.com/someRedirectedURL. And I also want all post parameter passed to
http://mydomain.com/someURL should also get redirected to http://mydomain.com/someRedirectedURL

something like this in htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^someURL someRedirectedURL

and all parameteres should also redirect to new page

(I have basic knowledge of htaccess how to use it in project)

May I ask why this topic has been posted in the PHP Catagorie and also what advantages are expected rather than using PHP to detect $_POST?

Edit:
Normally with a HTML form action is used to redirect the page.

It will cause havoc for anyone debugging your script if .htaccess is used to redirect the page :slight_smile:

<form action="/path/form_validation.php" method="post">
...

Ok @John_Betong

that doesn’t come in mind :slight_smile:

because I was looking on complex regular expression written in other thread about .htaccess file.

Now simple forwarding request to a URL and then configuring that URL to redirect to another URL using .htaccess file helped me.no matter whethar request is GET and POST all parameters are there in redirected URL

OK I have asked the Mod’s to move this to the Server Config Category.

Let me know if you have any objections.
