Smart URLs

Hey all, I was recently trying my luck at dabbling in some mod_rewrite stuff, and I have run into numerious errors. Basically my aim is to re-write my sites URLs so instead of being say, mysite.com/thumbnails?type=funny&gallery=4 the URL is neat, similar to many sites who would have something like mysite.com/thumbnails/funny/4 What ways are there of achieving this (excluding, redirecting the URL and creating the page say index.htm automatically)? I have tried mod_rewrite for two days solid to no avail. I am not sure if it is my poor coding or the fact that I am running apache2 on a Windows platform which are said not to support such a module well. If any alternatives could be proposed or even better someone could suggest a mod_rewrite routine which would transparently transform any url like mysite.com/whatever/4/6 to mysite.com/whatever.php it would be greatly appreciated. So far the rewrite you see below will work with mysite.com/whatever/ however the minute you add something onto the end i.e. mysite.com/whatever/4/ it will raise the error "Premature end of script headers: php.exe", instead of loading whatever.php as intended. RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^/(.+)/(.+) $1.php [L] Thanks for your time and hopefully someone understands what I am trying to say :), and as always any suggestions at all would be awesome!
