htaccess is this possible?

www.sitename.com/index.php?name=[B]JOHN.SMITH[/B]&document['details'].submit()

Code (markup):

this typed into my address bar works by filling out the field name and submiting the form also.

i want someone to be able to type this instead:

www.sitename.com/[B]JOHN.SMITH[/B]

Code (markup):

i have the following at the moment any ideas as just comes up with a server error:

RewriteRule ^/?([a-z0-9]*)\.([a-z]*)$ /index.php?name=$1.$2&document['details'].submit() [L]

Code (markup):

 

ANYONE?

www.sitename.com/index.php?name=JOHN.SMITH&document.details.submit()

Code (markup):

to

www.sitename.com/JOHN.SMITH

Code (markup):

 

RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)\.([^/\.]+)$ /index.php?name=$1.$2&document.details.submit() [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

Untested, but it should work.

 

thanks, but: still a server error

 

This should work :

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^name=([^&]+)&document\.details\.submit\(\)$
RewriteRule ^index\.php %1 [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

 

nope, still no joy...

 

The only trouble I could see with your original RewriteRule was that it didn't accept capital letters and the name you were using was entirely in capital letters.

You could either do this:

RewriteRule ^/?([a-z0-9]*)\.([a-z]*)$ /index.php?name=$1.$2&document['details'].submit() [NC,L]

Code (markup):

or this:

RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z0-9]*)\.([a-zA-Z]*)$ /index.php?name=$1.$2&document['details'].submit() [L]

Code (markup):

 

nope, anyone know of a htaccess generator site / prog?

 

Try this:

Hope it helps
