Add trailing slash if not present.

Hey guys,

I'm busy with a project, but because I'm such a bitch about details I
want to solve this.

I want to add a trailing slash to the url if it is not present.

for example:
http://mydomain.com/products/books

should be rewritten to:
http://mydomain.com/products/books/

Currently I have a few rules in my .htaccess file:

---
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^.*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L]
---

But how would I go about checking if it ends with a slash?

Greetz,

Wizz

Re: Add trailing slash if not present.

To elaborate on the current RewriteRules: I handle all the request
through a php script inside index.php. It does work now, I just think
it looks better with the trailing slash...

Greetz,

In fact how to test for being both extentionless AND trailing-slashless:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[^/]+$|/$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) $1/ [R,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|js|css)$ [NC]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

If details do bother you rather have your script(s) and template(s) generate
the slash than make a browser ask twice.

You could do this in your php script with something like:
if () {
Header("Location: http://mydomain.com/products/books/");
die;
}
