mod_rewrite trouble

[arbitter]

So I heard of mod_rewrite a few days ago, and would love to implement it on my site.

I can rewrite some basic ones, but I'd like to keep it simple and I don't know how..

 

My whole page consists of an index.php page

Then there's the basic ones:

index.php?fx=activities

index.php?fx=somethingelse

 

Those I have managed to rewrite to mydomain.com/activities    using:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?fx=$1  [NC,L]

 

The tricky part is where I have multiple $_GET[]'s

for example:

index.php?fx=photos&album=whatever

and:

index.php?fx=contact&info=whatever

 

How do I manage this? Is it possible? I know I could use

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?fx=$1&album=$2  [NC,L]

But that would make it work only for the photos, and actually it doesn't even do that...

 

Is it possible to change this with mod_rewrite, or should I change the general layout of my $_GET[]'s with more universal ones?

It needs to know if you want the album or info page. They can't both have the same kind of URL. Adding a fake directory will fix it.

 

Options +FollowSymLinks +Indexes

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^fx/([^.]+)/album/([^.]+)$ index.php?fx=$1&album=$2  [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^fx/([^.]+)/info/([^.]+)$ index.php?fx=$1&info=$2  [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ index.php?fx=$1  [L]
