After doing a couple hours of research, I found out that there are multiple KINDS of htaccess files.

So i have a three part question

(A)What kind of htaccess file do I have?

(B)Is this the correct way of trying to rewrite the files?

(C)Is there a way to close an htaccess file? For instance if you start a php doc, you start with <?php and end with ;?> and with an html doc you start with <html> and end with </html>. How would you close an htaccess file?

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.home*)$ index.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.settings*)$ edit_profile.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.in*)$ pm.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.seed*)$ seed.php [L,QSA]

    By kinds of htaccess files, do you mean files that begin with .ht? As far as I know there are .htaccess files which are used for configuration purposes, and .htpasswd files used for storing users/passwords for HTTP Digest Authentication.

    You just have a .htaccess file. I don’t think you need the [L] flag as that signals the end of URL rewriting for that request. Why do you have a period preceding the home, settings, seed?

    Other than that everything else looks good. And to answer your last question, no you don’t have to close a .htaccess file. It’s not like PHP where you need to supply the ending (?>) tag.
