php and .htaccess rewrite.

How can I do

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

//stuff

}

PHP:

with .htaccess rewrite on?

The rewrite is:

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

Code (markup):

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

 

Did you try this:

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

Code (markup):

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

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

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

}
