micmania1 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi, I want to to use mod_rewrite (I think) on 1 file. I have a url http://www.domain.com/liveimage.php?image_id=123 and want it to appear as http://www.domain.com/liveimage/123.gif First of all can anybody helpt me out or point me to a good basic tutorial on how to do this? Secondly, to get my variables (image_id), will I need to parse the url or just use $_GET? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWater Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 You can just you $_GET after you use mod_rewrite. And put this in the document root .htaccess file: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^liveimage/([0-9]+).gif$ liveimage.php?image_id=$1 RewriteRule ^liveimage/([0-9]+).gif/$ liveimage.php?image_id=$1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Make sure the mod_rewrite module is loaded in your httpd.conf file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
