Mod_Rewrite help?

squid · 04-27-2008, 01:42 PM

Hi,
I am trying to achieve the following:

games.php can be accessed via /games.
So somebody goes to http://website.com/games and they will be shown, games.php or they would go to http://website.com/food and will be shown food.php

Is this possible? If so, how?

Do you only have a couple of specific pages, or do you want to wildcard it so /anything goes to /anything.php? Assuming the former, you can do that by adding this to your .htaccess:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/website-development/462694-mod_rewrite-help.html

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^games /games.php
RewriteRule ^food /food.php

The danger in this is that any URL containing the word games will get sent to that games.php file. For instance /games12345 will also go to the same page.

If you wanted to prevent this by adding a slash to the end of the URL, you could do this:

RewriteRule ^games/ /games.php

Then you make to make sure your link is to /games/ and not just /games
