    Hi everybody

    I have a link such as : www.mysite.com/product.php?id=123
    and another link as : www.mysite.com/details.php?id=123

    the product name of the code 123 is (for example) : PRD1

    I want to change my Links to :

    www.mysite.com/PRD1/ instead of www.mysite.com/product.php?id=123

    and for 2nd link use this one:
    www.mysite.com/PRD1/details/ instead of www.mysite.com/details.php?id=123

    How to do this with .htaccess file? is it possible?

    No expert but yes its possible.

    You will need to look up regex. (regular expression)

    Here is something real quick it prolly won't work but you can try it

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$\/ product.php?id=$1
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$\/details\/ details.php?id=$1


    ^ is the start, ex: after the trailing slash in the url, http://site.com/
    (.*)$ should be everything between the trailing slash and the next slash.
    \/ is an escaped slash that should be in the url.

    Hopefully this helps you a bit, and maybe someone else who knows regex will jump in! hehe

    Yes.

    .* means everything, letters and numbers and any length.

    Thanks

    Another question, why you use (details\/ details) 2 times?

    [sorry for lots of questions :eek: ]

    Hi

    I want to manipulate html file using .htaccess

    By the way the error message from the ApACHE log file is

    [Sun Jun 24 17:18:14 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Filename is not valid: d:/easyphp1-8/www/zen-cart-v1.3.7-full-fileset-12302006/piggy-guest-book-p-
    234:2bfedfbc8c496a2b3f98e69e988d177e.html

    So anyone has any idea how to remove the random numbers and letters after the colon:)) sign? Colon :)) sign should also be removed.

    How to do it using .htaccess?
