Would you like to know if there is any way to hide a subdirectory or variable in the friendly url? Example:

.htaccess 

RewriteRule ^([a-z,0-9,A-Z,_-]+)/categoria-([a-z,0-9,A-Z,_-]+)$ index.php?link=6&categoriaid=$1

in this case, I pass the category id via the url that would look like this :

www.com.br/19/categoria-teste

in this case works ok, but what I really want is to hide the ide from the category to the user and show so 

www.com.br/categoria-teste

but of course, passing the id of the variable occult.

First I recommend you learn , yours is wrong (and is running by "lucky"):

[a-z,0-9,A-Z,-]

Within [...] not using comma to separate, all values are detected, the correct would be something like:

RewriteRule ^(\d+)/categoria-([a-z0-9A-Z_\-]+)$ index.php?link=6&categoriaid=$1

As the ID must be numerical I traded for \d

No way to hide the id that goes in /<id>/categoria-<nome>, see the stackoverflow Urls themselves look like this:

/questions/164248/esconder-variavel-na-url-com-htaccess
/questions/<id>/<nome>

Maybe you can use it like this:

http://site/categoria-teste-19
http://site/categoria-<nome>-<id>

Regex would look like this:

RewriteRule ^/categoria-([a-z0-9A-Z_\-]+)\-(\d+)$ index.php?link=6&categoriaid=$2

  • another way I’ve been searching would be to pass the id via Session while the url would be id-free, so when I clicked the button, I would create asession with the id and on the other page I would receive Session and delete it, so the url is clean , but I couldn’t find a way to create Session with by clicking on a link

    @Jonnysj. the idea is good, but it wouldn’t work to index on google.

Jonnys, if you do not pass the information in the URL there is no way to get it to do the treatment in the . htaccess file, as was done in the example you gave.

If you want to have a custom URL without the need to make the ID explicit, think about the possibility of using slugs, so you search for Slug and not the ID.

The . htaccess would look something like this for the url www.com.br/test category:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?slug=$1 [L]
