Edit .htaccess with WordPress Plugin API?

1 Views

I want to write a wordpress plugin that requires changing the .htaccess file. How do I do that in PHP. I have seen this done before with other plugins but, I can not figure out how it is done. Thanks!

  1. The function in wordpress to update the .htaccess file is insert_with_markers it takes three parameters.

    insert_with_markers ( string $filename, string $marker, array|string $insertion )

    in following this tutorial you could write something like this

    // Get path to main .htaccess for WordPress
$htaccess = get_home_path().".htaccess";

$lines = array();
$lines[] = "RewriteBase /foobar";

insert_with_markers($htaccess, "MyPlugin", $lines);

    That would look like this in the your .htaccess file 

    # BEGIN MyPlugin
RewriteBase /foobar
# END MyPlugin

    Here is a link to wordpress’ documentation of that function
