Rewrite dynamic pages AND non-www to www (.htaccess)

Question

Ok, so I have a page.php placed on www.example.com/test that I want to rewrite to www.example.com/test/page/id ( from www.example.com/test/page.php?page=id )

I added this simple .htaccess and everything's fine so far

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule page/(.*)/ page.php?page=$1
RewriteRule page/(.*) page.php?page=$1

The thing though is that I also want to redirect example.com/test/page/id to www.example.com/test/page/id

Is this possible to do? I tried adding a RewriteCond but it messed it up more.

Thanks in advance

It's 2 concepts. First always redirect your non www to www with a 301 then your dynamic rewrite will work as you mentioned it. — Sylwit, Aug 26 '16 at 11:50
Yeah but if I put a rewrite cond in the beginning it will only do the dynamic redirect to non-www — messinismarios, Aug 26 '16 at 12:24

I haven't paid attention to your question please try this, I've tested it, put this in exact same manner with [L,R] flag

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
RewriteRule page/(.*)/ page.php?page=$1
RewriteRule page/(.*) page.php?page=$1

same problem, when i enter example.com/test/page/id it redirects to www.example.com/page/id while i want it to redirect to **www.example.com/test/page/id** – messinismarios Aug 26 '16 at 14:22
first you have to decide whether you want to it to apply on test directory or root directory i can edit it for test directory because for test it will require three matching groups. – Abhishek Gurjar Aug 26 '16 at 17:22
applying on the test directory sounds ok, what should i change? thanks in advance – messinismarios Aug 26 '16 at 21:02
made some changed to your code and it worked, thanks – messinismarios Aug 26 '16 at 22:50

To redirect non www requests to www, add the following rule bellow RewriteEngine line in your htaccess

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www
RewriteRule ^ http://www%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]

Try this

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule page/(.*)/ page.php?page=$1
RewriteRule page/(.*) page.php?page=$1
