need htaccess help!

Hello,

I don't know much about htaccess, but i'm trying to redirect all stuff coming from index.php to the root, so e.g. /index.php?test=1 becomes /1, now that WOKRS. But now here's my problem, i cannot make any new php files because if i would go to /anotherfile.php it would redirect to the root again...

Here's the code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) index.php

Can anyone help so i can add new php files that won't be redirected?

Try the following


RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]


now, when you create links in your html, make sure it starts with "/"...for example
<a href="/about/">about</a>
<a href="/contact/">contact</a>

Let's know if that didn't work

cheers,
Ess

Well i tried it, but it gives me a 404...

is mod_rewrite enabled?

you wish to have a look at the following url, they seem to provide a interesting solution

Messed around a bit, and it works! Thanks a million! Small question though, what does the '^' in front of '(.+)' mean?

^ means match the beginning of a given value

for example
^([a-z]+)(\s)([0-9]+)$

the above expression states the string must start with at the least one letter, which could be a, b, c....all the way to z

$ means the ends of a string
in the above example, a value would evaluate to true if it ends with at the least one number 0-9
