[SOLVED] RewriteRule Confusion

[Matrixkid]

Howzat it,

Ill try and explain what I want in the end, and then show you what I have.

 

basically I want this:

http://www.example.com/portal/NEWS-ITEM-GOES-HERE/342A

 

ideally, I would like to send 342A to {portal}.php which resides in

http://www.example.com/portal.php?id=342A

 

the issue I am having it grabbing that first bracket and making it the page.

so if it was

http://www.example.com/news/SOME-NEWS-HERE/A342FD42S

it would be

http://www.example.com/news.php?id=A342FD42S

 

So far ive got:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ portal.php?id=$3

 

Thanks for the help!

Cheers

I got it.

 

RewriteRule ^portal/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /portal.php?m=$1&id=$2

 

it needed a / before the page.php ...
