Using htaccess for CMS

[ILMV]

Hello!

 

I need some help as I don't fully understand htaccess, When someone types in this address:

 

http://mydomain.com/about

 

I need to send the 'about' part like this:

 

http://mydomain.com/index.php?page=about

 

 

Can anyone help

 

Many Thanks,

ILMV

Here is a .htaccess I use for a web app. it remaps all incoming urls to the .index.php as path variable simillar to what you are trying.

 

example:

http://www.mydomain.com/category/test

 

ends up as:

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?__page=category/test/

 

You will probably need to change the rules at the end around to be page instead of __page and maybe change up the images/css/js part
