Any ideas?

<?PHP
switch($id) 
{
default:
echo "this is the default page";
case '4:
echo "put '4' content here";
break;
break;
}
?>

What? That is NOT an htaccess rewrite. If you missed the first post, i will repeat it.

I want a user to be able to put articles/4.html in their browser and it to be parsed by the server as news.php?id=4

I don't need to know how to display different material according to the id #. Using htaccess rewrite methods only, how do I do this?

[thesavior]

does anyone know how to do this?

you cant do that with .htacces try this though

PHP Code:

<?php
$action = $_GET['page'];

function yourfilename() {
include("yourfilename");
}
if ($page == "yourfilename") {
yourfilename();
}
?>

then you can make a link like index.php?page=yourfile
and it will display you file on the page

So why wouldn't something like this work?

RewriteRule ^articles/(.*).html$ news.php?id=$1 [L]

That should work but there is a syntax error in there somewhere and I don't know what is wrong.


*edit*

Actually, this does work. View: http://image-space.net/articles/4.html and http://image-space.net/profile/news.php?id=4
