Try: RewriteRule ^show/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) Another way to achieve a similar result without using Rewrite is to parse $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], and possibly $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] Eg if your link is: http://www.rizkhan.net/articles/show.php/Beginners%20Corner/1/1 Then $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] would contain /articles/show.php/Beginners%20Corner/1/1 and $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] would contain /Beginners%20Corner/1/1 -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* You'd like to do it instantaneously, but that's too slow. */
