Thread: .htaccess Help

I am trying to get my blog links:

Code:

blog.php?id=12345

To work using:

Code:

blog12345.php

I tried this but it gives me an 500 error.

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule blog(.*)\.php$ /blog.php?id=$1

Anyone have any ideas how to get this to work?

If you have a URL like "h tt p ://www.example.com/index.php?id=1234&page=12" and you want to turn it into "h tt p ://www.example.com/index/1234/12" you can do this with mod_rewrite.

To do this you simply put the following in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index/(.*)/(.*)/ /index.php?id=$1&page=$2


Well, in your case please also make sure that your Apache web service supports mod_rewrite.


Regards,

Your just missing a ^ before the word "blog"

That should make it work.
