How to use htaccess to make /post-name instead of /article.php?title=post-name?

Question

htaccess

Tell me, how can I make /post-name (or /article/post-name) through htaccess instead of /article.php?title=post-name ?

Answer 1

/article.php?title=post-name => /post-name

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:^|&)title\=post\-name(?:$|&)
RewriteRule ^article\.php$ /post\-name? [L,R=301]

/article.php?title=post-name => /article/post-name

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:^|&)title\=post\-name(?:$|&)
RewriteRule ^article\.php$ /article/post\-name? [L,R=301]

well, the option with variables in the title

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:^|&)title\=(.+)(?:$|&)
RewriteRule ^article\.php$ /article/%1? [L,R=301]
