Question

I have a site where my pages are generated dynamically. I want to change the url from:

http://www.mydomain.com/library.php?id=13

to something like:

http://www.mydomain.com/13.html

I am using this Rewrite Rule:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /library.php?id=$1 [L]

Unfortunately it doesn’t work. When I click on the link the page goes to this url:

www.mydomain.com/library.php?id=13

But the strange part is when I browse to www.mydomain.com/13.html the link is working.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

You need to change the links that are generated in the library.php files to your new defined format 🙂
