Is this possible with regex

Question

I am wanting to use mod-rewrite for cleaner URL's across my whole site which is going to be really hard, I will have to most likey rename many files/structure.

Would this be possible though if a page currently is like this

www.domain.com/?p=users.online&page=23

to re-write it as

/users/online/page/23

but then also work when there is more periods . in the name like this

www.domain.com/?p=users.online.new&page=23 to

/users/online/new/page/23

Any suggestions? I will probably have to rename some of the files and such to work better and make more sense

Answer 1

This will sound stupid, but I'd use a super simple Django site that would handle the urls and proxy between your app and the users.

Answer 2

There isn't any problem with the extra dots.

RewriteRule *(.*)page/(.*)$ /$1page=$2

You simply ignore the bits you don't want and deal only with the relevant variables.
