mod_rewrite

Can anyone recommend a really simple tutorial for using mod_rewrite to convert PHP URLs into static URLs?

 

I found this to be a fairly easy tutorial to follow. It might help.

This is a guide that has some common situations and the code to use:

Thanks, but I am still having problems

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule article_(.*)\.html$ /more/article/article.php?id=$1
RewriteRule search_(.*)\.html$ /more/article/search.php?cid=$1

Code (markup):

Now the first rewrite rule works fine, converting URLs from e.g. article.php?id=1 to article_1.html. The second rule doesn't do anything, and I can't figure out why

 

You can also check this forums http://mod-rewrite.com/forum/ I've found it very useful.

 

Thanks for the link.

 

yup, me too now. Thx a lot for a good link
