mod_rewrite with 2 parameters

I'm trying to rewrite my URL that has two parameters without any luck. When people go to: www.site.com/blog.php?id=421&title=title+of+blog, I want the URL to show: www.site.com/blogposts/421/title+of+blog

Here's the code that I'm using:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/blogposts/([0-9]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ /blog.php?id=$1&title=$2

Code (markup):

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You are welcome tanenqq. Also if you want to read more on mod_rewrite the best book about it that i have read so far is

if anybody want to get better understanding of mod_rewrite i would refer this e-book.

 

Those rules look fine but the leading slash won't work in a .htaccess file. It will only work in an Apache configuration file. If these rules are in a .htaccess file then you will need to remove the leading slash.

What that rule does is translates an external visible URL (the one people see in their browsers) of www.site.com/blogposts/421/title+of+blog to an internal URL (the one that your PHP script sees) of www.site.com/blog.php?id=421&title=title+of+blog. If you are requesting www.site.com/blog.php?id=421&title=title+of+blog in your browser then this rule won't do anything.

The other problem that could cause this to not work in a .htaccess file is not having AllowOverride All in your Apache config.

 

Options +FollowSymLinks +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^blogposts/([^.]+)/([^.]+)$ blog.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]

And the script has to do the title+of+blog part, with some search and replace.
