Mod Rewrite

Hi,
If i have the url /item.php?id=1 is there any way to be redirected to /item/1.

I have the rewrite rule set up to change /item.php?id=1 to /item though no way to redurect if that url is used.

i have tried...

RewriteRule ^{item.php([/]+)/?$} /item/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks Ben 🙂

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

Didnt test but should work.

This is handy cheat sheet that I use often(bad memory 🙂):

What i need is when someone clicks a link such as http://example.com/item.php?id=1 i need the address bar to display http://example.com/item/1. I think a redirect would be needed.

In item.php you can write a script on top, that checks what the current url is and if it is not equal to the optimized link item/1, do a redirect 301 to the correct url
