[.htaccess/php issues]

I'm using the following:

 

$image = addslashes(strip_tags(trim($_REQUEST['image'])));

$q = "SELECT * from " . $db_prefix . "images where id='$image' limit 1";
$result = mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());

and so on . . .

 

(And no, some.com isn't the domain, it's just made up)

[.htaccess/php issues]

No need to be sarcastic.    I'm only asking for help.

 

RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?browse=$1&image=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?browse=$1&image=$2

[.htaccess/php issues]

But how can that be?  I used the same redirect as my other site.

 

RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?browse=$1&image=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?browse=$1&image=$2

[.htaccess/php issues]

I am just completely lost.  I used the same exact coding for another website, and yet this one is giving me problems.  I am using .htaccess to change the path so it looks a little neater aka http://some.com/view/1/ instead of http://some.com/?x=view&file=1.  Now mind you, I did this at another site, yet on this site, it only works as http://some.com/?x=view&file=1 and not the former.  My built in 404 message for no rows found is coming up when I input the http://some.com/view/1/ url.  Help please?

[Preg_match issue]

./p=icons

[Preg_match issue]

Here's the basic preg_match:

[code]
$pattern = '/^[a-z0-9]*$/i';
if (!preg_match($pattern, trim($_GET["p"])) || strlen(trim($_GET["p"]) == 0))
[/code]

Now if I have a p that equals a number, it shows the data, but it the p contains letters, it doesn't work! Can someone help, please?
