htaaccess, ANYONE will know this! i just suck please help...

[luke777]

Hey guys,

 

I really hope someone can help me i totally suck with htaaccess!

 

redirect a /var to php script like makepage.php?id=var

 

All i really want to do it have like if someone comes to the site and types "www.site.com/page" then the address bar will stay the same but the page will be read from "www.site.com/script.php?id=page"

 

I thought it would be pretty easy and have messed round with a bunch of codes but given up n decided to leave it for an expert 

 

If anyone could space a minute to help me with this i'd appreciate it more than you know!

Hi Luke777,

 

It sounds like you're looking for mod_rewrite help. There is a great article here:

 

http://corz.org/serv/tricks/htaccess2.php

 

If you have trouble once you've read the article and tried writing some code, post the code here so we can be a little more specific with our answers.

 

An example from the above site:

...would be a neat trick, enabling anyone to access my blog archives by doing..

 

http://corz.org/blog/2003-nov

 

in their browser, and have it automagically transformed server-side into..

 

http://corz.org/blog/index.php?archive=2003-nov

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^blog/([0-9]+)-([a-z]+) http://corz.org/blog/index.php?archive=$1-$2 [NC]

 

Thanks,

Scot

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^files/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /turf/grabpage.php?page=$1&file=$2 [NC]

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com[NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
