As I do not know how your folder structure is and how you are identifying the artist name and etc. I'll leave a simple answer, but you can adapt.
Folder Structure:
.
├── artists
│ ├── albums.php
│ ├── biography.php
│ └── index.php
└── index.php
.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule artists/(.*)(?:/(.*))? /artists/index.php?artist=$1&page=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php [L]
In the first rule of rewrite we define - through regex -, all access in http://www.example.com/artists/... must be redirected to the artists/index.php folder with the defined parameters .
Explaining Regex:
artists/(.*)(?:/(.*))?
└───┬──┘└─┬─┘└──┬────┘
│ │ └──────── Captura o nome da página. O '?' indica que ele é opcional.
│ └────────────── Captura o nome do artista
└──────────────────── Base
artists / index.php
<?php
$artist = $_GET["artist"] ?? false;
$page = $_GET["page"] ?? "albums";
if ( $artist ) {
$model = new ArtistModel();
if( $model->has($artist) ) {
switch ($page) {
case "biography":
$content = $model->getBiography();
require_once "biography.php";
break;
case "albums":
default:
$content = $model->getAlbums();
require_once "biography.php";
break;
}
}
} else {
echo "Not found";
}
Attention! This is just a basic example. You should not use in production, just for studies and to be optimized / adapted to your code.
