Htaccess - What have I done Wrong in my code?

ridesign1 · 06-18-2009, 07:10 AM

I have a page http://www.site.com/new

1)I want to redirect http://www.site.com/new/1/
to : http://www.site.com/new?pg=1

2)And redirect http://www.site.com/new/cat/2/
to : http://www.site.com/new?c=cat&pg=2

3)And redirect http://www.site.com/new/cat/
to : http://www.site.com/new?c=cat
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/590765-htaccess-what-have-i-done-wrong.html

I have attempted the following 1 and 2 work but 3 does not work:
"c" will always be small letters and "pg" will be between 1-5.

Code:

RewriteRule ^new/([a-z])/$ /new/?c=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^new/(.*)/([0-9])/$ /new/?c=$1&pg=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^new/([0-9])/$ /new/?pg=$1 [L]

I don't know much about .htaccess, but is that your entire .htaccess file? Don't forget to turn RewriteEngine On.

You want:

Code:

RewriteRule ^new/([a-z]+)/$ /new/?c=$1 [L]

what does the + do?
do i need to add the + for ([0-9]+)?

Should this work?

RewriteRule ^new/([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)/$ /new/?c=$1&pg=$2 [L]

The "+" mean match one or more of the previous element (in this case one or more letters). Without the "+" the pattern will only match a single letter between the slashes. With the "+" it will match one or more letters between the slashes. You don't need it after the [0-9] since you only expect a single digit.
