hi guys, i was wondering how would i go about (basically i have a rewrite rule which turns kidblog/disclaimer into kidblog/index.php?section=disclaimer

 

so if someone types in kidblog/DisClaimEr

 

it would translate that into kidblog/index.php?section=DisClaimEr, so how owuld i make it so even with capitals it still translates it into lowercase, i dont want a redirect or anything like that.

Just ad * NC * to the condition...

 

kidblog/index.php?section=$1 [L,NC]

 

With A-Za-z as the regex surely the [NC] part is unneseccary?

 

Ya, but using a regex makes the point of the rewrite kind of silly, if you're only wanting to rewrite KiDlOg/DisClaimEr, then NC is the best way because what stops someone from doing KiDlOg/monkeys, you lose the restriction on the rewite because your allowing for anything after * / *. Plus it still wont match because kidlog is not in lower case!

I see what you're saying, but when I use rewrite on sites it's usually for everypage (maybe not in this case) so I use a regular expression that will allow letters and dashes or whatever's needed. Then the $_GET value is checked in the script as it should be. If it's wrong they go to the home page so people misspelling etc don't get an error but a redirect to the home page of the site.

cheers guys, i use the regex because i only want letters there,

 

the ht access file is in the kidblog directory so the redirecting wont work anywhere else anyway,

 

and i know im able to do it through php, i was jsut wondering is there anyway to do it jsut through htaccess?
