Hello Ladies and Gents, I'm getting back into coding after a year lapse. Got my first big project coming up soon too, but in the meantime, I'm working on my personal site and am LOST on a piece of code (Mod_Rewrite) that I gave up on years ago... Or did I give up?! No! I'm finally seeking help!!!
#below masks URL successfully to html
RewriteRule ^a/(.*)/(.*)\.html$ /a/$1/?req=read&article_title=$2 [L]
#however, when I try to force that old URL to go to the HTML version, absolutely nothing happens
RewriteRule ^a/(.*)/?req=read&article_title=(.*)$ /a/$1/$2.html [R]
Does anyone see what I did wrong in the "Redirect" code below?
Sweet lord almighty! I've tried to figure this out on my own numerous times over the years. Pray ye have the answer?
Thank you in advance.
