    Hi :)

    I have a regex problem with mod_rewrite.

    Here's what I'm trying to do:

    Convert this:

    www.site.com/home/cooking/asian

    to index.php?cat=asian

    Seems simple. But I need something that can work with infinate categories. The regex just needs to find the last category name and tap that on the end of index.php?cat=

    For example it could be sites.com/computers/internet/design/photoshop or just site.com/computers.

    My current rule is:
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?cat=$1 [QSA,L]

    But that only works for a URL like this:

    site.com/computers/

    It doesnt work on 2nd, 3rd teir categories etc.

    Can anyone help me out with this rule? Cheers :D :D

    That should work with 3 sublevels, easy to expand to more. If you truly want infinite subcats, it might be more difficult..
