  1. PO.htaccess mod_rewrite problem - shot myself in the foot?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a page called category.php5 that uses $_GET["category"] to fetch the right content from the database. I want to pretty it up so is looks like:</p> <p>sinaesthesia.co.uk/category/psoriasis</p> <p>which would equal:</p> <p>sinaesthesia.co.uk/category.php5?category=psoriasis</p> <p>I have successfully done this sort of rewriting before, but since I can't get it to work now, I'm worred that I might have rules in place that are somehow screwing me. Here is my entire .htaccess file - the last couple of lines are supposed to do the above rewrite:</p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine On #remember to change this to aromaclear RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^sinaesthesia\.co.uk$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sinaesthesia.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L] #Translate default page to root RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ .*/index\.(php5|html)\ HTTP RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.(php5|html)$ /$1 [R=301,L] #translate any .html ending into .php5 RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1\.php5 #change / for ? RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html/(.*)$ /$1\.html?$2 #strip .html from search res page RewriteRule ^(.*)search/(.*)$ /$1search_results\.html/search=$2 #translate product details link from search res page RewriteRule ^products/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ /product_details.php5?category=$1&amp;title=$2&amp;id=$3 [L] #Translate products/psorisis/chamomile-skin-cream-P[x] to productview.php5?id=1 RewriteRule ^products/.*-P([0-9]+) /productview.php5?id=$1 [L] #Translate /category/psoriasis to /category.php5?category=$1 RewriteRule ^category/(.*) /category.php5?category=$1 [L] </code></pre> <p>When I manually enter category.php5/category=psoriasis, it works great. When I enter category.php5/category/psoriasis, it doesn't. I'm worried that my line that changes a html/ to html? is an error, however when I take that line out, it still doesn't work. Everything else works as expected. </p>
