I've killed the better part of the morning and this afternon trying to figure out this use of Apache's mod_rewrite. What I'm trying to do is this:
For the sake of backward compatibility, I'd like to take series of discrete pages that were created with HTML and generalize them with a database lookup page in PHP. Some example URLs would be like this: product-This-Product.php product-Another-Product.php product-Yet-More-Product.php product-Lotta-Product.php and convert them within Apache internally to pages like this: product.php?name=This-Product product.php?name=Another-Product product.php?name=Yet-More-Product product.php?name=Lotta-Product I'm the first to admit that I'm not a whiz with either RegEx or Apache. However, after a lot of reading, I came up with this: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/?product-([A-Za-z0-9-]+)\.php$ product.php?name=$1 [ R=301,L] But Apache is choking on it so I can't even figure out how close I am to getting it working. To further make things difficult, I need to skip over other pages that aren't product related. Is there somebody out there who can crack this nut? Thanks so much! -- Dave Spencer, PageWeavers _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
