[SOLVED] .htdocs mod_rewrite

[micmania1]

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?

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

I am currently running on my computer.

 

The domain is therefor curently http://localhost/sitename/

 

It is giving a 500 error message.

 

The .htaccess file is in the sitenarectory and other directories are working fine.

 

I'm using:

Apache/2.2.8 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.5

 

My webserver is linux.

Make sure the mod_rewrite module is loaded in your httpd.conf file.

Yeah, its set.

 

I'll check the .htaccess on my web server and get back to you.

It works fine on my server.

 

Thank you.
