mod_rewrite

benracer

how can i use this for my task, i could not find anything on that page.

is it possible to get the url and remove everything before two slashes?

bradgrafelman

Something like this might work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^items/([0-9]+)$ item.php?id=$1

If your part numbers aren't numeric, then you could change the [0-9] to . so that all characters are allowed.

benracer

is this for htaccess?

bradgrafelman

Yes, .htaccess is where you configure Apache's mod_rewrite, assuming it has been loaded.

benracer

how can i change this...

http://example.co.uk/item.php?id=92

http://example.co.uk/item/92

Which is the URL that you want to be seen? In other words, which is the URL you would type into a browser? If that's the second one, then I've already posted the code to do that.

benracer

hi,
yes its the 2nd one. how can i get it to read item.php? Do i have to create a folder with item.php -> index.php?

bradgrafelman

No, you don't need to create any folders. You only need item.php and a .htaccess file with the code I've already provided above.
