Hello, i've been making this project in my spare time, haven't looked at it for a while. But i have some spare time so i'm going to dip my toe again. I have been using the following .htaccess rules RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^about/?$ about.php RewriteRule ^about/([A-Za-z\+\-]+)/?$ ./about.php?x=$1 Which achieves what I wanted (initially). In that I wanted to be able to make these URLs: www.example.com/about.php www.example.com/about.php?x=jonathon Become these URLs respectively: www.example.com/about www.example.com/about/jonathon Which once i'd fiddled around and achieved it, I was pretty happy with. Obviosuly this meant some changes to my relative CSS paths, which was a bit fiddly, but I couldn't see a better way around it. Though if you know any good ideas, please let me know. My scenario now is much as I enjoy that these URLs look prettier, there are 2 problems with them. 1 - if someone types www.example.com/about/ for example, the css relative paths fail. So the paages aren't styled. 2 - Also in terms of seo it looks like duplicate content Sooo, my next thought was to automatically append the trailing slash, so that ^about becomes ^about/ and ^about/jonathon becomes ^about/jonathon/ auomatically. Therefore stopping a duplicate content problem and also meaning that my css will render properly. So far reading around the many many articles and examples i've seen before i've come up with this: RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://localhost/www.example.co.uk/$1/ [L,R=301] Which works in that 'about' does indeed become 'about/' and 'about/jonathon' does becomes 'about/jonathon/' Regrettably, I always get a object not found 404 error! Which is not the desired effect, I am not particulary good, (in fact i'm not even remotely good at .htaccess) so can anyone help me out with this conundrum. I have been clearing my browser cache regulary as I tinker with it to make sure that it always using the most up to date .htaccess file. Thanks in advance Jonathon B)
