Question

I have searched SO but all the examples here are not working for me.

I have a $_SESSION['title']; //Session variable contains title from calling page

$title = $_SESSION['title']; //local variable contains article title

Let’s say the title of the article is news-of-the-day
How can I modify my rule to

http://www.newstoday.com/readnews/12/news-of-the-day

BTW http://www.newstoday.com/readnews/12 //this works

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^readnews/([0-9]+)$ readnews.php?news_art_id=$1

Answer 1

Try something like that:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^readnews/([0-9]+)(/(.*))?$ readnews.php?news_art_id=$1&other_params=$3

Added later: everything what goes after id will be in other_params GET param.
