mod_rewrite to chagne query data

Question

I have two files in a folder called MyFolder: index.php and members.php I specify the member in members.php like so members.php?member=member1 I would rather just write something like this in the browser MyFolder/member1 index.php should be unaffected

What do I write in my .htaccess file to make this happen?

Answer 1

You could try something like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/myfolder/(.*) /myfolder/member.php?member=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/myfolder/?$ /myfolder/index.php [L]

Answer 2

Try this:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) /member.php?member=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/?$ /index.php [L]

You can put that in the "myfolder" folder.
