Are you trying to mod rewrite index.php?page= contact to index/contact ? and index.php?page= news&limit= 1&page=4 to
index/news/1/4 ?

yes....exactly what i'm trying to do

try:


Code:

That didn't work. Every time i clicked a link it would default to the home page (home.php)

This worked but i couldn't do any pagination
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index/(.*) index.php?page= $1 [L]
I need to add a rewrite rule like this to do the pagination

has it got anything to do with this

switch ($_GET['page' ])
{

case "change-p assword":
include('chan ge-password.php ');
break;

case "contact ":
include('cont act.php');
break;

default:
include('home .php');
}

Is this correct for mod rewrite

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index/(.*) index.php?page= $1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^index/(.*)/(.* ) index.php?page= $1&limit=$2 &pagenum=$3 [L]

Can you tell me how you would rewrite these urls used in your pagination script becuase as i understand it each of the links within the pages has to be in the same format such as http://www.y oursite.com/stu ff/php/10/1.php

e.g.

Code:

$prev_page = $page - 1;

if($prev_page >= 1) {
echo("< ;b><<& lt;/b> <a href=http://www .yoursite.com/s tuff/script.php ?cat=$cat&l imit=$limit& ;page=$prev_pag e><b>P rev.</b>& lt;/a>" ;
}

What you're doing with Mod_Rewrite is making the URL prettier, basically. Your script still needs the same parameters, and they will still be passed, except they will be viewed differently in the URL. The script can still access them the same way. if you have:

index.php?page= 1&limit=2 , then you can still access $_GET['page'] and $_GET['limit' ].

So if you check out the rewrite rules, each "wild-car d" or (.*) will be referenced to $1, $2 and so on respectively.

So in my pagination this is basically the code I use for displaying available code samples (cat_list.php) and then viewing code samples (view.php):


Code:

I got the mod rewrite working properly now. Everywhere I went said different things but I have one last question

I have 3 pages called jack1, jack2, jack3 and jack4.

How would i rewrite it so it reads /jack/1 etc or is it not possible

well... im sure its possible. I dont know the answer off the top of my head. But I will tell you one thing, the directories of Mod_Rewrite only need to mach the ID's from the query string. The others (like title of article) can be anything. you could visit:

/tutorials/php/ 15/this_tutoria l_dont_exist/1. php and its going to load the tutorial with the id of 15 and page 1, because the title does not matter. You could put anything.

So you could do the same thing with Jack

I got a weird problem with using $_GET['id'] to get the id from a rewritten url. I have created a simple image gallery but when i click on a thumbnail, the page with the enlarged image doesn't display an image.

Here is my code which is causing the problem

Code:

<?php

include_once(& quot;includes/c onnection.php& quot;

$id = $_GET['id'];< br />
$query = "SELECT * FROM images WHERE id = '$id'";
$result = mysql_query($qu ery) or die(mysql_error ());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result)) {

echo "<img src='/gallery/ ".$row[' image']." ;'>";
}

?>

what does your rewrite look like, and what exactly isn't working for you?

make sure it has a .php extension in your Rewrite rule?

I found out what the problem is.....there is a conflict between 2 rewrite rules.

The first rewrite rulle will always work but not the second even if i switch them around.

I need them both to work

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+) /([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page= $1&id=$2
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+) /([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page= $1&pagenum= $2

why are you listing page twice??

?page=1&pag enum=2 ... it dont work like that, you cant have 2 rules for the same directories. If you want the 2nd, make your url's like this:

index.php?page= $1&id=$2&am p;pagenum=$3

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+) /([0-9]+)/([0-9 ]+)?$ index.php?page= $1&id=$2pag enum=$3
