Question

I am trying to get page.php?title=foo to change to /page/foo. I’ve got it working to the point the page.php goes to /page/, but when I do page.php?title=foo it rewrites the url to /page/title?title=foo.

I’d like to remove the ?title=foo part of the last url. Any ideas?

I’m new to this – I tried to follow tutorials but am unsure what the [OR] and [NC] (etc) mean.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}     ^$              [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}     ^title=(.*)$    [NC]
RewriteRule ^page.php$       page/%1      [NC,L,R=301]

You can do something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule page.php - [L]
RewriteRule ^page/(.*)$ page.php/?title=$1 // $1 - content of ()

So, when user ask http://example.com/page/foo, Apache will open him http://example.com/page.php/?title=foo. But adressbar is still with http://example.com/page/foo
