Question

Okey, so this is my problem.
I want to use mod_rewrite to make nice looking urls for my site.

I want them all to have good looking url like http://www.mypage/tennis or http://www.mypage/soccer instead of http://www.mypage/?page=tennis and http://www.mypage/?page=soccer

And with the following rules i can achive this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

So now if I type in http://www.mypage/soccer my PHP script reads this url and does it’s magic translating this to $_GET[‘page’] = soccer. All this works fine!

Problem is if I would type the URL http://www.mypage/soccer/ all of a sudden every linked css or image cannot be found by the website, since it now looking in the none existing folder /soccer/ off course.

How do I make a rewrite rule that transforms /soccer/ to /soccer or any other /blabla/ to /blabla

Hope my question is clear! Also if anyone have any good pages where I can learn more regular expressions i would be very happy!

Try this:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ ?page=$1 [L]
