Hi I am having trouble figuring out how to set up the htaccess file. This is what I have.
Code: Select all
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /projects/cms/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.html$ index.php?car=$1
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.html$ description.php?vehicle=$1
If someone clicks on a link like
http://mydomain/car/13.html it is supposed to display a list of all the cars available for the category.
If someone clicks on a link like
http://mydomain/vehicle/13.html it is supposed to show the details on that vehicle.
What it is actually doing though is showing the details if you go to the first url though.

your regex is passing through.
I think you may need the [L] modifier (last)

Changed to:
Code: Select all
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /projects/cms/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.html$ index.php?car=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.html$ description.php?vehicle=$1
Thanks feyd, that solved the first problem, however going to:
http://domainname/description/12.html is still getting routed to the index page.

your regex needs to be tweaked to understand what to match and what not to.. after you fix that, you can actually lose the [L]

RewriteBase /projects/cms/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^car/([^/]+)\.html$ index.php?car=$1
RewriteRule ^description/([^/]+)\.html$ description.php?vehicle=$1
