mod rewrite problem... want friendly url with image generated from file

[Sim]

My .htaccess

PHP Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^img_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)$ /create_image.php?id=$1&hour=$2&min=$3&day=$4&month=$5&YYYY=$6&cruise=$7 [NC,L] 


My URL of file:
mydomain.com/img_0_00_00_01_01_2014_ocenia_cruises.png

anyone know what I am doing wrong? if I use create_image.php with all $_GET's set, it works fine, but with my friendly url, it doesn't work..

What get is provided to create_image.php when using the rewrite?

[Sim]

create_image.php?id=0&hour=00&min=00&day=01&month=01&YYYY=2014&cruise=ocenia_cruises.png

Looks to me like its working fine then. If you are retrieving all of those variables from get using the rewrite, then there is no problem here.

What's not found? You just posted the querystring provided to the page when accessed by a mod rewrite, so I presumed there was no issue with that.

I got the URL mydomain.com/img_0_00_00_01_01_2014_ocenia_cruises.png (WHICH physically does not exist). It says "page not found". It should use the create_image.php file to display this image which works perfect if i go to mydomain.com/create_image.php?gets_here which is the reason I attempted to create this .htaccess file.

So you get a 404 then.
You can't use this pattern to match the above since there is an underscore in the filename. It also assumes you have rewrite, so you better check that:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    SetEnv _HAS_MODREWRITE "ENABLED"
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^img_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)$ /create_image.php?id=$1&hour=$2&min=$3&day=$4&month=$5&YYYY=$6&cruise=$7 [NC,L]  
</IfModule>

Try again without the use of the underscore in the name of the image (or refine your search pattern). If it doesn't work, check a phpinfo page to ensure that there is a server variable under _HAS_MODREWRITE. If its not there, you don't have the rewrite engine available.

Thanks, works. Problem was the _. I replaced the _ with -
