Re: URL rewriting...anybody done this?

Hey, Thanks for replying. It seems to be partly working. /* How isn't it working? What happens? I would try one variable first, get that working, then add the others. Also, I am not sure how it will handle the space in "Beginners Corner". Try passing simple values first. */ Its a bit hard to explain what happens so see for yourself: Heres the index page: http://www.rizkhan.net/articles/articles.php Heres the actual page: http://www.rizkhan.net/articles/show.php?category=Beginners%20Corner&sid=1&id=1 and then if you modify it to: http://www.rizkhan.net/articles/show/Beginners%20Corner/1/1 it just shows me the index...which even links wrong. Ok, will try to pass a value without the space in between. /* I am assuming you have Apache compiled with mod_rewrite and you have the proper settings in httpd.conf (ie. LoadModule). Did you restart Apache? */ Yep, mod_rewrite is installed (http://rizkhan.net/phpinfo.php) I did restart apache.
