mod re-write

can someone help me with the last line?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+).php$ index.php?c=$1& [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)add.php$ add_url.php?c=$1& [L]
RewriteRule *******.php$ index.php?c=$1&s=$2 [L]

what is instead of ***** ?
Thanks.

 

It totally depends on what you are trying to do, could be anything

 

I want the line like this: $1-$2.php

 

Okay try

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)-([A-Za-z0-9]+).php$ index.php?c=$1&s=$2 [L]

Code (markup):

This is assumming $1 and $2 can only be alpha numeric without any symbols

 

Thank you!

 

this should also work

RewriteRule ^(.*)-(.*)$ index.php?c=$1&s=$2 [L]

Code (markup):

 

I'm pretty new to mod_rewrite (started Monday) but with that wouldn't the . in the brackets match the hyphen between the brackets, if you know what I mean

Your welcome, like I said I'm new to mod rewrite so still enjoy the practice, I'll get bored of it soon enough

 

Tip: Change php to html. Search engines like that more!

(.*) and (.*) means $1 and $2

what ever is at $1 in the normal URL will be at the first (.*).

 

No, that will mean that the - is not in the match, and it must be (the regular expression always attempt to match the whole expression)
consider "foo-bar"
(.*) will match all ($1="foo-bar")
(.*)bar will match $1="foo-", with "bar" at end, not part of $1
similarly (.*)-(.*) will match $1=foo, $2=bar

 

Thanks I'm still learning and that makes perfect sense now.

 

This is for biz-directory i'm assuming.. can you post your full string and what else you had to do?

 

This will help.
