regular express problem

Hi

I am having problem in fixing the regular expression.
I want to forward all calls to shop.php but at the same time if[there is call i.e www.example.com then it should took it to index.php not the shop.php

here is my current expression, it always throw pages to shop.php even if want to go index.php it will take me to shop.pop

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/ index.php
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9.]+) shop.php

Code (markup):

 

you should escape the .

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/ index.php
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\.]+) shop.php

 

thank you, but how can i stop it from going to shop.php if i am calling index.php it should not go to shop.php

any help

thanks

 

try this one
RewriteRule ^index\.html index.php

 

nops

i tried RewriteRule ^index\.html index.php and RewriteRule ^index.html index.php

 

You have to tell it not to process any more rules ... [L]

Try this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^index.php$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9.]+)$ shop.php

Code (markup):

don't think you need to escape the . if you are using it as a wildcard search, only if you are using to find "." exact match ... eg \.html
