Suppose i have custom pages like

http://www.myfootbal...results-tables/
or
http://www.myfootbal...e/6/contact-us/

I want to remove the page/6/, i want to make it look like this:

http://www.myfootbal...results-tables/
or
http://www.myfootbal...com/contact-us/

I checked few examples, but the code was a bit complicated for me to understand. I know you have to make some sort of rule in the mod rewrite. Any help will be appreciated.

How would the server know which page to display then?

mmm, well lol i donno. can i do this page per page. like a code for every page link, i also want to redirect the old pages to new ones.

Most mod_rewrite applications just redirect to a single page which interprets the URL. There's usually a format such as http://website.com/m...tion/arg1/arg2/ but it varies from app to app. The application works out the correct content to show and the MVC architecture apps usually use a Router class.

Why is this relevant to you? Because I think, you think all the leg work is done in htaccess when in reality its not. More permanent things could be done in htaccess such as a 301 redirect.

well i would like to avoid having 10/15 folders with index.php inside it on the main website. thats all. i know about redirect through htaccess, as it can be done from my cpanel too.

What's the purpose of your 10/15 index.php files?

well the other way is that i create a folder and name it as /contact-us/, then put it main public html, i have to do that with all other pages.
