Apache htaccess

Hello BHW,

i have a php website and it pulls data from mysql database.

i have urls like :

Code:

http://mydomain.com/video.php?name=video+name&id=1&tag=video-tag

i want it in this form:

Code:

http://mydomain.com/video-tag/video-name-id.html

What should i write in .htaccess to do this.

Thanks

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule -name-(.*)-id-(.*)-tag-(.*)\.html video.php?name=$1&id=$2&tag=$3

No it doesnt work, (i have + in between url, how to make those + to -)

thanks anyways.

Ok i got the solution.

here it is:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-id(.*).html video.php?id=$3

Good

It wasn't hard to rewrite... (sorry about the above. haven't used apache/htaccess in a long time).

Here's what you should do though:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-(.*)-(.*)\.html$ video.php?name=$2+$3&id=$4

That way you'll be doing what you wanted:

Code:

http://mydomain.com/video-tag/video-name-id.html

e.g. http://mydomain.com/video-tag/myvideo-xpwizard-88134.html

Thanks Man, i am new to Apache

but why have you added a $ after .html here:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine on  
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-(.*)-(.*)\.html$ video.php?name=$2+$3&id=$4

^ = start of string
$ = end of string

It's just regex basics.
