user friendly url's with htaccess

[godleydesign]

Hi,

Can someone help me with User friendly URL and get variables.

 

My file is called test.php and i'm using htaccess to remove the .php part of the url.

 

In theory i want the following:
www.example.com/test/1234

 

1234 is my id= part

 

How can i do this?

here's my htaccess so far:

Options -Indexes

 

RewriteEngine  on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f

RewriteRule !.*\.php$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php [L, QSA]

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ test.php?/$1 [L]

 

 

i'm trying to get the get variable by:

$var = $_GET['id'];

 

echo $var;

I'm not 100% sure it isn't possible to do so in an .htaccess file, but you probably want to do this in your server configuration files (httpd.conf if you are running Apache).

 

My guess is that your server looks for the directory of "test" and returns a 404 before it ever gets to the directory that has your .htaccess file.
