Cant get mod_rewrite to work

Hi,

I know mod rewrite works on my server because i have other scripts that use it, I am trying to add it into another script i am using.

I am trying to get MYURL/Arcade.php?play=connect4 to display as MYURL/arcade/play/connect4.html

Here is what is in my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^arcade/([0-9]+)/(.*)\.html$ arcade.php?play=$1 [L]

Code (markup):

Any help will be greatly appreciated

 

Maybe something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^arcade/play/([^/]+)\.html$ arcade.php?play=$1 [L]

Code (markup):

make sure in this case your php script is named arcade.php and not Arcade.php (note the first CAPS letter). if you are hosting on a linux server, then it's not the same if it's CAPS letter or now... just to mention that.

 

Thanks! It works, however now I have to change all my links on the script to reflect this.
