Question

i’m trying to set up a very simple rule in .htaccess file in order to rewrite this kind of url: http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=test to this: http://www.domain.com/test

I’m newbie to mod_rewrite, and so far, i came to this rule

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d


RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1

but it doesn’t work.

Any help?
Thanks a lot

Almost right, you just forgot the page=:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1

Now note that this rule does the exact opposite: It rewrites requests of paths like /test internally to /index.php?page=test and not vice versa.
