php and .htaccess rewrite.

[killaklown]

How can I do


if($_GET['category'] == $cat) {

//stuff

}


with .htaccess rewrite on?

The rewrite is:
RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)?$ index.php?category=$cat [QSA,L]



I cant seem to get it to work. (never did rewrite before)

Did you try this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)?$ index.php?category=$1


You can call url then with http://www.yourwebsite.com/category/5

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

echo "Category is: ".$_GET['category'];

}
