I am hoping to gain some help with a small trouble I am experiencing

  • 0

I am hoping to gain some help with a small trouble I am experiencing with configuring a .htaccess file. Basically, I want to retrieve 2 variables from a URL String.

For example:

If someone entered http://www.website.com.au/folder/category/item.php

I would like the .htaccess to retrieve the last two variables (being Category and Item) and parse them to my display-item.php page.

I have a rough idea of what I need to be doing (As per below) though with all the tutes I have been reading I am a little confused.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

🙂 Paul

RewriteRule /folder/(.*)/(.*).php /folder/display-item.php?category=$1&item=$2 [L]

    RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)/(.*).php /folder/display-item.php?category=$1&item=$2 [L]
    

    Works a treat. Managed to get it working.
