How to always direct to the correct URL?

  • 772

I have a rule .htaccessthat allows the data to be displayed despite the user manipulating or modifying the categories.

Example if the user visits the following address:example.com/categoria/otracategoria/mi-url/

And you can modify it as follows:example.com/categoria/cat/plus/mi-url/

The data will be displayed in the same way, the detail of that product will be displayed without errors, except if you modify this mi-urlthere, the system displays the following message: the product does not exist.

I don't know, if it is correct to leave it as it is, I don't think it is insecure, in SEO, only the URL, which are correctly in the system, will be indexed, so I would believe that there is no problem with it.

But on the other hand, I think that it would look better if the data were displayed in the URLcorrect one.

So getting the url of the column recordsurl

id    url
1   cat/1/producto/mi-url/

Through a named variable $urlcorrectaand through a certain condition if that variable does not match the UR web path direct to the urltrue/correct one.

For example, if this is the urlcorrect one, and if the URLexample.com/cat/1/producto/mi-url/ is manipulated like this: and that through PHP, when checked, it is directed to the true URL :example.com/cat/otro/1/mi-url/example.com/cat/1/producto/mi-url/

How can I implement this check?

php

    You can check if the url is the one you expect in phpand if it is not, redirect to the correct one with a 301.

    $url_correcta = "aqui la url esperada para el producto";
if($midominioweb."/".$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] != $url_correcta){
    header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
    header("Location: ".$url_correcta);
    header("Connection: close");
    exit;
}
