[SOLVED] Url Rewriting issues

[Jagarm]

Hello all,

 

I currently have url writing on my site, it takes index.php?action=something into host.com/something. Everything is good there, now i have some sites that requires me to pass additional queries to the script such as follow: index.php?action=movies&page=2.

 

What I'm trying to do is have it like this host.com/something/2

 

So far I have the following and I've been trying for days but no luck in doing that.

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?action=$1 
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ index.php?action=$1&page=$2 

 

I don't know what I am doing wrong there, but I would appreciate some help.

 

As you may know not all the time it will need the page string but sometimes so I tried to make it optional as follow:

RewriteRule ^(.*)(/(.*))?$ index.php?action=$1&page=$3

but it doesn't work.

 

I would appreciate any help.

 

Also is it possible to automatically based on the htaccess to change it from index.php?action=movies into /movies or /movies/34

 

Thanks,

I'm still trying to get this to work, so far I have the following code

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)(/(.*))?$ index.php?display=$1&n=$3 [QSA]

 

This works if the &n is specified even though I made it optional that is if its:

http://www.beta.berwari.net/index.php?display=movies&n=20

 

the display argument will contain "music,movies,links,contact" so only for movies there will be the &n argument specified that is for pagination page number.

 

Please let me know if anything is not clear,

 

I really need help with this, since i"m been trying for days with no luck.

 

Thanks again

This is what I was looking for and thanks to http://www.workingwith.me.uk/blog/software/open_source/apache/mod_rewriting_an_entire_site

 

I found the way, this is how I done it, in case somebody like me is trying to search for something simlar

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?display=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?display=$1&n=$2 [L]

 

Thanks to those who looked at my post
