Question

Answer 1

A:

With mod_rewrite you will rather do the opposite: rewrite a URL path like /brochure/35/concrete-intermediate-posts internally to /brochure.php?cat_path=35&name=concrete-intermediate-posts:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(\d+)/([^/]+)$ $1.php?cat_path=$2&name=$3 [L,QSA]

The other side, using a URL path like /brochure/35/concrete-intermediate-posts instead of /brochure.php?cat_path=35&name=concrete-intermediate-posts in the HTML documents, would be done with PHP.

That's thrown me a little, what result would this produce? my desired one?

Ok that's great, thanks. So I first need to create my desired URL, and then use your code to allow it to make the correct requests?

shane 2010-09-22 17:30:16

How would I go about changing the URL with PHP?

shane 2010-09-22 17:36:11

@shane: Yep. I don’t know how you generate these URLs. But you just need to change the format so that the output looks like `/brochure/35/concrete-intermediate-posts`.

Sorry, It's all clicked now. Thanks alot for your help, as always.

shane 2010-09-22 18:06:54

Scratch that. It's just returning 'page not found' as if the rewrite rule isn't kicking in/ Any common reasons for this? (host?)

shane 2010-09-22 18:21:06

@shane: Do you use the obligatory `RewriteEngine on`?

Gumbo 2010-09-22 18:43:05

Am I using the correct method to get this working. I've replaced my links with <a href="/brochure/29/concrete-posts">link<a/>.

Answer 2

A:

I Hope you mean something like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^brochure/([0-9]+)/([-a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ /brochure.php?cat_path=$1&name=$2 [L]
