[SOLVED] quick htaccess question

[glenelkins]

Hi

 

here is my htaccess

 

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
RewriteRule ^location/([a-z0-9]+)$ location.php?search_location=$1

</IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

 

This was standard with the textpattern cms, i added the following line for a custom script:

RewriteRule ^location/([a-z0-9]+)$ location.php?search_location=$1

 

This is however interfearing with the line above

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

 

how can i make both of those work together? they are  both needed

i thought about using something like

 

RewriteRule ^[^location]$ index.php

 

But that doesnt seem to work, shouldnt this mean  'anything that is not "location"' forward to index.php?

figured it out:

 

RewriteRule ^location/([a-z0-9]+)$ location.php?search_location=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
