any rewrite pros?

[Sebastian]

I asked this question about 10 different times at various sites, no one knows how, or haven't offered any help


anyhow:

I'd like to make my URL's seach engine friendly.

I would like to make /articles/comments.php?id=120

act as /articles/120


and then say i have: /articles/comments.php?id=120&page=3

act as /articles/120/3

I know some of you people have done this, any help for me?


I posted this here because we have no apache forum, and well, i thought i'd get better help here, just becasue i know some of you ppl are smart

I have viewed myself as a regexp god recently so try this:

/\/articles\/comments.php\?id=[0-9]*/ /articles/$1

[Sebastian]

sorry fil i have no experience with regexp / rewrite, what do i do with that code?

can it be done via .htaccess instead?

thanks.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /\/articles\/comments.php\?id=[0-9]*/ /articles/$1

...in a .htaccess.

Thanks, It doesn't work though. I get 404 not found.

i tested mod_rewrite so i know its working.. hmm.
