Re: Would this work? (mod_rewrite)

Miguel, if I get this working I am going to be so happy :-) I just tried putting the following in an .htaccess file in my root: RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase    /
RewriteRule    * index.php

And it came back with a server misconfiguration. So, did I do something wrong? ----Original Message Follows---- From: Miguel Cruz <mnc@stoic.net> To: "[ rswfire ]" <rswfire@hotmail.com> CC: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Would this work?

Assume I want *.domain.*/*.* to automatically call index.php (without the user knowing and without any redirecting at all): RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase    /
RewriteRule    *.* index.php [R]

I don't know what in the world the [R] is, but it's in almost all of the mod_rewrite examples... :-)

RewriteRule * index.php Don't use the [R] - that tells it to create an external redirect. It's used in many of the examples because in many real-world cases people are using rewrite rules to coax invalid URLs into valid ones, and this way there's at least some chance that the bad ones will get updated. miguel _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
