.htaccess question

[Gamerz]

First,

What does $1 and $i mean. What are the differences between them.

 

Second,

I want to cover the real path:

http://www.domain.com/downloads/test/test_secret_09.php?file= and mask it with: http://www.domain.com/files/downloads/09

---

So far, I have this:

RewriteRule ^downloads/([^/]+)/([^/]+).zip test_secret_09.php?file= [NC]

[trq]

This board is PHP Coding Help. .htaccess files are Apache configuration files.

$1, $2, $3 etc.. relates to the position of the rewrite:

 

RewriteRule ^test/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) test.php?id=$1&next=$2&test=$3  [L,QSA]

 

So logically it would look like:

 

RewriteRule ^test/$1/$2/$3

 

Also you can swich them around anyway you want:

 

RewriteRule ^test/$3/$1/$2

 

Second,

I want to cover the real path:

http://www.domain.com/downloads/test/test_secret_09.php?file= and mask it with: http://www.domain.com/files/downloads/09

So far, I have this:

 

RewriteRule ^files/downloads/(.*) downloads/test/test_secret_$1.php?file=  [L,QSA]

 

Your better of having the download script like this:

 

RewriteRule ^files/downloads/(.*) downloads.php?id=$1  [L,QSA]
