I'm stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 You will not be able to directly do it with IDs like that. You will have to rewrite something like domainname.com/tape.html to domainname.com/page.php?catalog=tape. Mod_rewrite cannot (well, should not) map names to IDs. Anyway, you could do this your self if you googled for a second, but: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^([^/]+)\.html$ /browse.php?catalog_name=$1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 can this be done with mod_rewrite? You need to read Corbin's reply again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
