[Davie33]

Hi how do i make the rule for htaccess file for this code i have ?.

 

so it can show like this.... http://localhost/template/cats/CPUs%20-%20Processors/1.html

 

I have this but doesnt seem to do the trick.

RewriteRule page-(.*)\.html$ index.php?act=$1&id&page=$2

 

<?php
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cats WHERE id ORDER BY catname ASC LIMIT 15") or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
echo '<a href="' . $urlpath . 'cats/' . $row['catname'] .'/1.html">' . $row['catname'] . '</a> / ';	
}
?>

Well yeah: that URL doesn't match up with what you're trying to use.

^cats/([^/]+)/(\d+)\.html$

(assuming this will go in /template/.htaccess)

Hi am not getting the page to show what am i doing wrong ?.

He is the rule

RewriteRule "^cats/([^/]+)/(\d+)\.html$"

What you're doing wrong is just throwing stuff into your .htaccess without actually knowing what you're doing.

 

mod_rewrite

Yeah your right i don't know much about htaccess mod rewrite which i am reading up on.

 

This is my full rule which works apart from the 2nd one that only shows id and not catname.

 

Rewrite Rule ^cats/([^/]+)/(\d+)\.html$ index.php?act=cats&id=$1&page=$2

 

For the rule you gave me does work but not on its own so i added the 2nd part of the rewrite rule and works.

When i tryed your rule like this RewriteRule ^cats/([^/]+)/(\d+)\.html$ was getting error that's why i tryed with adding "" and it stopped the error but still didn't show the cat page so thats why i added the 2nd part of the rewrite rule.

 

So i would just like to thank you for the help thanks again.
