I noticed on youtube their url does not have a file extension and querystring.

I noticed on youtube their url does not have a file extension and querystring. I’ve been trying to emulate something similar but found I had to either include the file extension or a trailing slash.

members.php?agefrom=20&ageto=40&city=london (works)
members/?agefrom=20&ageto=40&city=london (works)
members?agefrom=20&ageto=40&city=london (doesnt work)

So I was just wondering how can I get the third case to work? i’ve tried a few things in the htaccess file.

RewriteRule ^members$ index.php?page=members&%{QUERY_STRING} [QSA,L]

I have tried the above but to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

    The RewriteRule that you posted is correct for members.php? and for members? It should not work with members/
    You must have additional RewriteRules before this one that are getting applied first and are affecting this rule.

    However, here is a rule that should still work for you:

    RewriteRule ^members/?$ index.php?page=members&%{QUERY_STRING} [QSA,L]

    The /? is saying to match if the slash exists or if it doesn’t exist.
