dreamwest Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 how can i rewrite the url seen in the adreess bar. Ive seen it done on youtube where www.youtube.com/inbox?message=1blablabla turns into : www.youtube.com/inbox I have a little bit of code using .htaccess file but im not having any luck with it: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^channel/(.*)/(.*)/recent/(.*) video.php?category=recent&chid=$1&page=$3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBlue Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Saying "/?AID=$1" is the real url, and "/Articles/3/" is the url you wan't people to see, simply use the below. RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^Articles/([0-9]+)/$ /?AID=$1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamwest Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 thanks i suppose you cant tell me what this means (.*) im assuming it changes index.php/ into index/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo-urns Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 From my understanding (.*) means the rewrite will accept any type of input (letters, numbers, anything) If you just want letters off the top of my head I think it is ([a-z][A-Z]) but I might be wrong. If you just want index.php to be rewritten to index/ it would be RewriteRule ^index$ /index.php If you want a trailing slash just change ^index$ to ^index/$ -Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
