This should work but it doesn't but others do

[AdRock]

I am having a problem with my rewrite rules and there is no reason why it shouldn't display the right page as my other rewrite rules all work perfectly

 

I have a directory called guestbook which lists 10 entries at a time and is paged over so many pages.

 

I want the url to be from www.mydomain.com/guestbook/index.php?page=1 to www.mydomain.com/guestbook/1

 

As i say, i have used the same rewrite rules i have used for other pages and they all work

The problem is with the last 3 rewrite rules

 

here is some examples of my links

<a href="/guestbook/1"> from <a href="index.php?page=1">

 

<a href="/guestbook/viewIP/'.$num.'"> from <a href="index.php?a=viewIP&num='.$num.'">

 

What is really strange is that the second rewrite rule seems to work becuase I can have www.mydomain.com/guestbook/sign

Alright, I didn't play with mod_rewrite for quite some time but I wanna try..

RewriteRule ^guestbook/[(0-9)+]$ /guestbook/index.php?page=$1

 

The second one you said it's working so let's skip it.

 

For the third rewriterule I don't think it will works, because it's comflict with the 2nd rule, as you can see this,

 

index.php?a=$1

index.php?a=$1&num=$2

 

Correct me if I'm wrong.  :-X
