[SOLVED] Something simple.

[waynew]

Well, I can honestly say that I know very little about mod rewrites.

 

I have a url like so:

 

beboskinszone.com?bebo-skin=NAMEOFSKIN

 

How could I get that to look more like:

 

beboskinszone.com/NAMEOFSKIN

 

Also, could anyone point me towards a good beginners guide to mod rewrites. It looks daunting from the outside.

Actually; how could I make the URL like so:

 

beboskinszone.com/bebo-skin/nameofskin

Hmmm, been a while since I've used mod_rewrite. It's basically regular expressions, from memory.

 

Try this:

 

# Turn the RewriteEngine on.
RewriteEngine on

# Now write your rule
RewriteRule ^bebo-skin/([^/\.]+)?$ ?bebo-skin=$1 [L]

Hey Project. Thanks for the help. Still seems to be a problem though.

 

One link example is:

 

http://beboskinszone.com/bebo-skin.php?bebo-skin=90s-Kid

 

Hoping to have:

 

http://beboskinszone.com/bebo-skin/90s-Kid

 

I added what you gave me to my .htaccess but no luck. Thanks anyway.

Yeah try this, I didn't know what the name of your php file was.

 

# Turn the RewriteEngine on.
RewriteEngine on

# Now write your rule
RewriteRule ^bebo-skin/([^/\.]+)?$ bebo-skin.php?bebo-skin=$1 [L]

 

Then just go to http://beboskinszone.com/bebo-skin/90s-Kid and it'll link to http://beboskinszone.com/bebo-skin.php?bebo-skin=90s-Kid
