mod_rewrite help

[kwvarga]

hey.. how would I make anyone that goes to

staticdirectory/test.php

be "masked" to

view.php?id=test

[hatchet]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^view.php\?id=([a-zA-Z0-9]*)$ staticdirectory/$1.php

Not tested but essentially it sets any uppercase, lowercase, or number here [a-zA-Z0-9] to $1

I used
[code:1:31c1c26157]RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteRule ^category/(.*).php /script/view.php?site=$1[/code:1:31c1c26157]

and it works fine. thanks for the help

[hatchet]

Oh... was interpreting you backwards.
I did much the same for my affiliates script
Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^category([0-9]*).html affiliates.php?cat=$1

modrewrite is awesome

[hatchet]

Yes it is.. ok I have on for you that I've been pulling my hair out over.. and it's so damn simple (or at least it seems like it..
Browser URL looks like this
http://www.domain.com/folder/interfaces-and-buttons
it's rewritten from
http://www.domain.com/folder/index.p...es-and-buttons

I've got in htaccess in http://www.domain.com/folder
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/$ /index.php?urlcat=$1

Now why doesn't it work?

[kwvarga]

i think because its getting stuck.. wouldnt it start rewriting index.php stuff too?

[hatchet]

Hmm... it shouldn't because of the /$ end marker..
.* should be any character.. maybe it's getting stuck on the -'s

[hatchet]

I got it..
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /foldername/
RewriteRule ^(.*)-(.*)$ index.php?urlcat=$1-$2
RewriteRule ^(.*)-(.*)-(.*)$ index.php?urlcat=$1-$2-$3
had to put it in twice to cover 2 different situations.
