Hi, I looking to learn the language for a htaccess, is this written in C++? I know how to write a simple 301 redirect but I would like to understand how the language is actually written, what all the characters, numbers and symbols actually mean and how to fit them together, I hope this makes sense! On another note, similar question, I have used a gbase.php file for google shopping feed, same question again, what could I learn to understand how it all fits together! Any decent books or pointers are much appreciated! Thanks again. John
.htaccess is a configuration file. It's not written in any programming language - it just has a syntax that was conventionalized by the team who developed Apache. As for the file itself, take a look at this article: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/other/the-ultimate-guide-to-htaccess-files/ What you might be referring to is the configuration of the mod_rewrite plugin. It utilizes the PCRE library to match the redirections through regular expressions. You might start off by reading the mod documentation itself - mod_rewrite - specially the part referring to Regular Expressions. After that move on to the PCRE documentation. Good luck
