Hello guys I am using slim 3 framework and I use the default htaccess file on slim documentation so when a request come to my server it will be passed to index.php which will make use of the router to render a specific view

now my question is how to make use of my https with keep using this method

I found this in stackoverflow

> RewriteEngine On  
> RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on  
> RewriteRule (.\*) https://%{HTTP\_HOST}%{REQUEST\_URI}

but if I use it then the router won’t work properly cause this will disturb it

please help

Is not a “slim” topic, anyway you can use an .htaccess for archive it:

let me know if is not working 😃

```
### Activate the rewrite rule engine
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
# First rewrite to HTTPS:
# Don't put www. here. If it is already there it will be included, if not
# the subsequent rule will catch it.
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Now, rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use www.
# [NC] is a case-insensitive match
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
```

Yes I know it could be accomplished using an htaccess file the problem is I already have an htaccess file that contains the following

> Options -Indexes  
> RewriteEngine On  
> RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
> RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-d  
> RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

This htaccess file will pass any url to index.php file so I can use my slim router how to keep using the slim router along with https this is my question.

Hope you get what I mean , thanks in advance.

But it doesn’t have any effect using https or https on slim router.  
So i don’t understand what’s your problem.

yes I know this to be more specific I don’t know what these line of code does I used the htaccess file on slim docs but I don’t know exactly how it works.

what I mean about it will disturb my router if it type this in my url myurl/about-us the about us will be passed to index.php which will have a similar route to redirect the user for in the file you give me you removed the

> RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

so how would the request be passed to the index.php then
