Question

hey there, i have quite some issues with the mode rewrite here is what i use :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /creatii.php?creatie_thumb=$2&user=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /creatiiuser.php?user=$1

i would like this link :

http://creatii.artcrew.ro/creatii.php?creatie_thumb=creatie19&user=dee-dee

to look:

like http://creatii.artcrew.ro/dee-dee/creatie19

well this is fine, it works, no problems with it but i want to make a rule for another link

http://creatii.artcrew.ro/categorii.php?numecat=poetry&numesubcat=satire

to look like

http://creatii.artcrew.ro/poetry/satire

how can i do this? what rules must i use?

currently if i access http://creatii.artcrew.ro/poetry/satire
it access the link : http://creatii.artcrew.ro/creatii.php?creatie_thumb=satire&user=poetry

how can i make both links(the first one and the second one) work?

one more thing, i want this link : http://creatii.artcrew.ro/creatiiuser.php?user=Dan to look like http://creatii.artcrew.ro/Dan or if that does not work http://creatii.artcrew.ro/user/Dan
how can i do that?

can anyone help me?
thanks in advance

Answer 1

Given the URL http://creatii.artcrew.ro/X/Y, how is mod_rewrite supposed to know whether X and Y are creatie_thumb and user values or numecat and numesubcat values?

You need to add something to the URL to differentiate these cases.

For example:

• http://creatii.artcrew.ro/user/dee-dee
• http://creatii.artcrew.ro/user/dee-dee/creatie19
• http://creatii.artcrew.ro/cat/poetry/satire

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^user/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /creatii.php?creatie_thumb=$2&user=$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^user/([^/]*)/$ /creatiiuser.php?user=$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^cat/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /creatii.php?numecat=$1&numesubcat=$2 [L]
