Since those are arguments for the request, I don't understand why you would want to do that. Please explain what you are trying to accomplish. A URL that looks like http://localhost//Active=View/PostCategory=1 makes no sense. If you rewrite it that way with .htaccess, what/how do you expect it to be processed?

something like that

Fix the link rather than try to translate it. It still makes no sense to me.

i have this RewriteRule

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*/|)([^/]*)$ index.php?Active=$2[L]
 

but it only shows

http://localhost/View

 

i dont know to get the pass variable and its value

 

which is the

&PostCategory=1

You need to explain what you are trying to accomplish. I can not imagine why you want to do this with .htaccess. Perhaps we can suggest a better way.

I want a clean url. Thanks man i thought clean urls can be done with .htaccess

Clean URL????

I think you mean "pretty URL" or sometimes "friendly URL".

Yes, you can do that with your .htaccess file, but it'll probably take some php coding as well. If you look at open-source CMSes and frameworks you'll get the basic idea - WordPress, Laravel, and Codeigniter are all examples I've personally used. Check out the .htaccess and index.php files, and follow the trail from there. You can also just google it and come up with plenty of examples.

mod_rewrite will allow you to take a "pretty url" and parse it into the the parameters your site understands.  It doesn't automagically translate a url with parameters into a "pretty" url.  You need to do that yourself.  Hopefully you understand this.

You have to understand regular expressions and capturing groups.

I guys i figured out my .htaccess is working now but i dont know how to change the redirect in <a href="">

 

this is my code

	echo "<li><a href=\"/?Active=View&amp;PostCategory=".$cat['CategoryID']."\"";
      
 

How can i redirect this in <a href=

 

with this

 

http://localhost/View/1

[azumica]

is this okay?

 

"<li><a href=\"/View/".$cat['CategoryID']."\"";

Whatever lines up with your mod_rewrite rules.  You should either interpolate your variable or not.  You have a mix of the two  (concatenation and interpolation).

 

# Interpolation
"<li><a href=\"/view/{$cat['CategoryID']}\">$somevar</a></li>";

#concatenation (use single quotes!)
'<li><a href="/view/' . $cat['CategoryID'] . '">' . $somevar . '</a></li>';
