How to make /XXX/ point to filename.php?var=x? (mod rewrite)

I want to make it so that "/XXX/" (which is not an existing file directory) points to "/filename.php?var=1"

I want the imaginary /XXX/ to be in the same dir as /filename.php.

Could anyone help me out with the .htaccess code I need to make this work?

Thanks.

 

You need the filepath be something that will be interpreted in the variable, so something like

/123/ will redirect o /filename.php?var=123

in this case

RewriteRule ^/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ /filename.php?var=$1 [L]

Cheers,

 

Thank you very much mate.

 

sure, no problem
