i’m hosting a website through a hosting company [1] on a linux/apache server. until now i serve the different content through one script with parameters. an example url is

www.mydomain.com/pages.php?date=1-10-2008

now i want to change the scheme the url is composed of to something which looks completely like a path url. eg.:

www.mydomain.com/pages/date/2008/20/1

for this i need to switch off the normal mapping of url paths to directory folders in apache: all requests to all paths should go to one central script (pages.php), which than analyzes the path component of the url.

how do i tweak apache for this? i hope some .htaccess rules could the trick.

[1] btw, the hosting company is godaddy.com.

  1. Something like:

    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . pages.php

    should rewrite every request for a file or directory that doesn’t exist to pages.php. This will allow you to keep static files (images, stylesheets, etc) in the same document root.
