rewrite url for videos with dynamic links

I have a video sharing website where users upload their videos and get a link for the video, here is an example of the video link:

http://example.com/user/files/index.php?id=123&name=abc


the Url I want is

http://example.com/user/f/123/abc


Id parameter is the identifier (id) of the video and the name is optional.If a user forgot to write the name parameter ,then the URL will be like this

http://example.com/user/f/123


but it should still reach the destination . What should I put in my htaccess to achieve this?

Try this in your Root/.htaccess file

Root/.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
#if the Requested filename is not a directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#if the Requested filename is not a file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#if above conditions are true then rewrite the url
RewriteRule ^user/f/([0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)?/?$ /user/files/index.php?id=$1&name=$2 [NC,QSA,L]


Second capture group in the RewriteRule is optional here so that your video URL can accept both, /123/ or /123/abc .

RewriteRule

/123/

/123/abc
