Friendly URL help

chrisguk

Hi all!

I have the link below which I created to test the functionality of the script I wrote. But because the rest of my site is setup with friendly or extensionless URLs, I want to do the same with this one:

{
																echo "<a href='meta-paginated.php?page=$i'>$i</a> ";
														}

This is the current rewrite rule I have in my .htaccess which works fine for normal links:

RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*[^/.]+)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]

So the question is,because I cant work it out.

What would the regex be for this scenario?
How would I need to change the link to work with the new rewrite rule and still select ?page 1,2,3,4,5, etc etc. The page ID is always a number?

Many thanks in advance. If you are kind enough to provide the solution would you be able to explain how you get there so I can learn and pass on my knowledge to other forum users in the future?

I don't understand what your question is... you say you want to turn this:
meta-paginated.php?page=$i
into... something... else?

Hard for us to know what the proper regex would be when you haven't explained what that "something" is.

Hi Brad, this is what the URL presently looks like:

http://test.com/meta-paginated?page=2

I still don't think you've answered my question.

So to clarify, can you give us a simple (but complete) example of what you want the URL to look like and what it should be rewritten to?

Okay,

This is the link in a raw format:

meta-paginated.php?page=$i

This is what the URL looks like:

http://test.com/meta-paginated?page=2

This is the rule I think it should be but not completely sure:

RewriteRule ^{meta-paginated/(.)/(.)/$} /meta-paginated.php?$1=$2

I am also not sure of the LINK construct that is why I havent listed it here.
