Mod_rewrite help

[voyde]

I got most of it, however when it comes to a file name i am having some problems...

 

.htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

rewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [L]

rewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)-([A-Za-z]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&type=$2 [L]

rewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)-([A-Za-z]+)/([*.])$ index.php?p=$1&type=$2&file=$3 [L]

 

The url used to look like:

http://www.thesite.com/p=page&type=images&file=file.RAR

 

with the above mod_rewrite:

http://www.thesite.com/page-images/

 

but when i need to put a file in...

http://www.thesite.com/page-images/file.RAR

page not found or file missing.

 

i need the full file name but cant figure it out.

 

thanks.

 

(P.S I have searched google high and low)

You might want to keep a RewriteLog

How about using

(.*)

for your $3?

Not sure if it's the same effect..
