Convert url to lower case using htaccess except query string

php .htaccess query-string lowercase

Harish Chinju · Jun 3, 2014 · Viewed 8k times · Source

Am struggling with a htaccess problem.

I need to convert all the URLs from uppercase to lowercase. But the query string alone should be the same.

For example,

www.tESTUrl.com/sOMePath/?q=SomeStringHere

should be converted as,

www.testurl.com/somepath/?q=SomeStringHere

Please help to fix this. Thanks in advance.

Answer

First You have to add this to your httpd.conf:

RewriteMap lc int:tolower

Then paste the below code into your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase / 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^[^A-Z]*[A-Z].*
RewriteRule ^ ${lc:%{REQUEST_URI}} [L,R=301]

This code redirct the url like from

www.tESTUrl.com/sOMePath/?q=SomeStringHere

to www.testurl.com/somepath/?q=SomeStringHere
