Hey everyone, Not completely specific to php but I know you guys know regex's better then I do! :) I am attempting to match purl.schreurprinting.com/jasonpruim112 to purl.schreurprinting.com/p.php?purl=jasonpruim112 Here are my current matching patterns:

              RewriteRule /(.*) "/volumes/raider/webserver/documents/dev/schreurprinting.com/p.php?purl=$
#               RewriteRule /(*.) "/purl.schreurprinting.com/$1"
#               RewriteRule /(mail.php?purl=*) "/purl.schreurprinting.com/mail.php?purl=$1"
Yes I am doing this for apache's mod_rewrite, but my question is much more specific to regex's at this point :)
Any ideas where I am going wrong? it seems like it should be fairly simple to do, but I don't know regex's at all :)

RewriteRule ^jasonpruim112$ /p.php?purl=jasonpruim112 [L]

Just tried it, and it pops up with a 404... I'll keep looking. One other thing that I should probably add is the fact that the ^jasonpruim112$ could have hundreds of counterparts.... ^bobsmith112$ ^jerrybob112$ etc... etc... Thanks for looking though! --Jason Pruim Raoset Inc. Technology Manager MQC Specialist 11287 James St Holland, MI 49424 www.raoset.com japruim@raoset.com

here's a typical rule; probably best to modify what works and go from there :) RewriteRule ^directory/(.*)$ /newdirectory/$1 [L] the other alternative is to let php handle it.. this is basicaly if request isn't a file or a directory route to a php handler [my prefered way]: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /notfound_handler.php [L]

Interesting idea... I hadn't thought about that... Then I could just use a regex in php and grab everything after the domain name and pass it to my database to search and find the appropriate info to pull out... I'll have to do some searching :) -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc. Technology Manager MQC Specialist 11287 James St Holland, MI 49424 www.raoset.com japruim@raoset.com
