[SOLVED] trouble with a mod_rewrite

[devknob]

I put this in the .htaccess file, my host swore up and down mod_rewrite is installed, but i diddnt find it in <?php phpinfo(); ?> so is there something wrong with my code here?

 

--------this is in the htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks

Options +Indexes

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ /profile.php?redir=$1 [L]

 

-------this is in profile.php

if(isset($_GET['redir'])) {

$redir = $_GET['redir'];

$rs = mysql_query("SELECT id, redir FROM users WHERE redir='$redir'");

$row = mysql_fetch_object($rs);

$id = $row->id;

}

^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ instead of ^([^/]+)/$ made it totally work

 

FYI for whoever
