Using Apache's Mod_Rewrite

[Anon]

I would like to use mod_rewrite to rewrite dynamic/static urls. What would be the regex used in the virtual server tag to make

http://www.domain.com/12.html

the same as

http://www.domain.com/?page_id=12 ??

If someone could let me know this I would really appreciate it.

Here is a very good beginning tutorial->
http://www.fluidthoughts.com/howto/mod_rewrite/

Not to mention Apache's own somewhat complicated documents:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html and
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html

Or if you don't feel like reading/learning then just cut-and-paste this into your config file (This could be httpd.conf or commonhttpd.conf or a directory specific .htaccess file)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.+)$ /{SERVER_PATH_TO_WEBROOT}/script.php?var=$1

That will take anything after the slash, represented by the "(.+)", and squirt it into script.php as variable $var.

Let me know if you have trouble.

Cheers...
