    hello!

    i'm desperately in need of an htaccess expression if there are any experts out there reading.

    i need to redirect /archive/o_t__t_4267__topicname.html

    to /archive.php/?topicid=4267

    the only things that will change in the above example URL will be the number and the topicname. "ot_t__" at the start will always be there.

    thanks so much in advance to anyone who can have a crack at this... :D

    cheers

    pachow.

    This really belongs in the Apache section but you'll still get an answer from me.
    RewriteRule ^/archive/o_t__t_([0-9]+)__.*.html$ /archive.php/?topicid=$1 [NC,L]
    Code (markup):
    or, if it's going in a .htaccess file:
    RewriteRule ^archive/o_t__t_([0-9]+)__.*.html$ archive.php/?topicid=$1 [NC,L]
    Code (markup):
