mod_rewrite / .htaccess / regex help
Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2008 10:54 am
Hello,
I am new with this stuff so please be gentle with me
I have this structure on my WAMP server with mod_rewrite enabled:
http://localhost/sitename/index.php
http://localhost/sitename/page.php?name=something
http://localhost/sitename/info.php?id=something-else
in the .htaccess i have the following code:
shouldn't it work?
accordingly with the information I found on the web and make the links like this:
http://localhost/sitename/page/something
What am I doing wrong? is there something missing from the .htacces ? is the regex wrong? Can anyone help me with the code please?
thanks,
Alex
p.s: another question is: after i get this to work, should I change the links in the php page code to this format? (i told you i am new
so dont laugh)
