Question

hello i’m using this .htaccess code to redirect urls.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^printer/([^/\.]+)/?$ printer.php?id=$1 [L]

so any product.php?id=123 will become /product/123.

i changed all the links but i have a problem with html select form no matter what i do i cant get rid of the ‘?=’ signs? how can i get rid of them..?

here is the html code:

                <form action="/printer/" method="get" accept-charset="utf-8">
                    <select name="" id="printers">

                        <?php foreach($printers as $printer): ?>
                            <option class="printer_model" id="#<?php echo $printer['printer_model'] ?>" 
                            value="<?php echo $printer['printer_id']; ?>">
                                <?php echo $printer['printer_model']?>
                            </option>
                        <?php endforeach;?>
                    </select>

so i want the action to be /printer/123 but i get /printer/?=123

HTML :

<form action="/printers.php" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
  <select name="printers" id="printers">

        <?php foreach($printers as $printer): ?>
             <option class="printer_model" id="#<?php echo $printer['printer_model'] ?>" 
             value="<?php echo $printer['printer_id']; ?>">
                  <?php echo $printer['printer_model']?>
             </option>
        <?php endforeach;?>
  </select>

printers.php :

<?PHP
if( isset( $_POST['printers'] ) )
{
    header( 'location: /printer/' . $_POST['printers'] . '/' );
    exit();
}
?>

Use from this trick
