Please help with .htaccess rule!!

Hi I had this rule working and it got deleted and now im stuck.


I want to make my wallpapers.php point to mysite.com/video-games-wallpapers i had it working and lost the code.

Could anyone please help me I remember was only 3 lines..

 

You may use PHP redirect in lieu of .htaccess redirect.

 

How do you do that? I liked how the htaccess worked. Just lost the code for it.

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^video-games-wallpapers/$ $wallpapers.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^video-games-wallpapers$ $wallpapers.php [NC] code was similiar to this as far as I rember but it doesnt seem to work. When you make video-games-wallpapers It works.

 

Have a look at this article. It is a tutorial about .htaccess

Hope this helps!

 

Ok Thanks.

Also how come when I put this code

RewriteRule ^wallpapers/$ wallpapers.php [nc]

Link works. when you go to .com/wallpapers it loads up wallpapers.php.

when you put this

RewriteRule ^vide-games-wallpapers/$ wallpapers.php [nc]

It does not work.. I even renamed wallpapers.php and still didn't work.

 

try to escape dashes... so replace "-" with "\-"
like this:
RewriteRule ^video\-games\-wallpapers/$ wallpapers.php [nc]

 

thanks it worked
