htaccess

[doddsey_65]

I am trying to use a htaccess file to rewrite my urls to be SEO friendly.

 

eg instead of profile.php?username=username

    it would be profile/username/username.html

 

this is the contents of my htaccess:

 

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule profile/usrename/(.*)/ profile.php?usrename=$1

unfortunatly its not working. My host does have this enabled and it is in my site root. Is there anything i have forgot to include for it to work?

Try:

RewriteRule ^profile/username/(.*).html$ profile.php?username=$1

 

Or,

RewriteRule ^profile/(.*)/(.*).html$ profile.php?$1=$2

nope neither of them worked either. just to make sure im putting it in the right place the .htaccess file is in the same directory as the main index.php page.

RewriteRule ^profile/username/([^/]*)\.html$ /profile.php?username=$1
