Question

Hy!

I’m developing a web site and have a small problem with .htaccess.

Problem:
how to rewrite urls?

From: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=about 
To:   http://www.mysite.com/about/

and

From: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=stuff&catId=1
To:   http://www.mysite.com/stuff/1/

and

From: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=stuff&catId=1#someAnchor
To:   http://www.mysite.com/stuff/1/#someAnchor

Currently I’m doing this but it doesn’t work! 🙁

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^page/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^page/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1&catId=$2 [L]
</IfModule>

Please help.
Thanks in advance, Silvano.

This will do what you want:

#Rewrite /about/ to /index.php?page=about
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [NC,L]

#/stuff/1/ to /index.php?page=stuff&catId=1
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1&catId=$2 [NC,L]

#/stuff/1/#someAnchor to /index.php?page=stuff&catId=1#someAnchor   
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z]+)/([0-9]+)/(#[0-9a-z]+)?$ index.php?page=$1&catId=$2$3 [NC,L]

Works on my local server (WAMP).
