Basic URL Rewrite with Mod_Rewrite

[toms900]

Nice tutorial! But I have a question, I'm trying to do this for a user system but when I set it to /user/USERNAME it thinks of it as a folder? Is there any way I can fix that?

@yaezuodono : usully it's in one folder with your php file, i think and i usually do it

Nice tutorial, Thanks

[yaezoudono]

where is your htaccess located? in the localhost root folder or in 'tutorials' folder?

[coolbluezzzz]

What does the plus sign represent?

[petsoukos]

You matched [a-zA-Z0-9], I need to match what ever comes after my /

Btw excellent tutorial, short and simple!

Thanks!

This explanation is exactly what I'm looking for, thanks NuclearWolf. Gonna try it myself with my ugly /software.php?page=softwaremod­ule.php urls.

I am missing something though - how or where is the htaccess file integrated in to the php/html?

thanks

@IanColenutt It's not integrated into the php or html. Apache will look for .htaccess in the directory it's serving the current content from.

I tried your way but unfortunately, t does not work on my Mac, using localhost:8888 or localhost:10088. I think yours is based on localhost or 127.0.0.1 on Window.

Tried many ways of doing this and only yours worked. Thank you sooooo much! Happy new year!

Thank you, James.

This is why I love the web, it always (ok, not always) brings up the free-sharing.

Have an awesome new year.
