    I need a bit of help with url rewriting.

    I have a couple possible url formats

    site.com/Pages/Edit/1
    site.com/Pages/List

    I have the following .htaccess file

    Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On

  # uncomment the following line, if you are having trouble
  # getting no_script_name to work
  #RewriteBase /

    # If requested resource does not exist as a file
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*) index.php?controller=$1&action=$2
   
</IfModule>

# big crash from our front web controller
ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application error</h2>website failed to start properly"
    Code (markup):
    this file works great for site.com/Pages/List style urls but fail for site.com/Pages/Edit/1

    What I want is site.com/{1}/{2}/{3} where it translates to site.com/index.php?controller={1}&action={2}&value={3}

    Can someone help me out? Thanks.

    Some scripts use this trick : they let index.php capture the page name, and do a PHP or MySQL processing about finding the real link (for instance, the WordPress script).

    I ended up using a similar technique as I couldn't get a regular expression to do what I needed.
