URL rewriting question

[realin]

hi guys,

i want to use URL writing now, cause the other weird characters give a bad impression to the search engines and feeds.

can you tell me what is the code to be written in .htaccess.. is it the same we do in regular expression.. my URL is like

http://domain.com/view.php?action=read&id=8

My .htacccess has already few lines, may be my cpanel write it when i was managing index or the wordpress blog did it when i used the customized URL in it..

.htaccess look something like this ..

RewriteEngine on
 
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
Options All
AuthName domain.com
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://blog.domain2/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://blog.domain2$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com$      [NC]

What you have now is just to prevent hotlinking to pictures hosted on your site. How do you want the URL to look after rewriting?

I am too finding answer to my questions and its getting urgent for me.

I have one URL hosting.idealsolutions.in/domain.php When user points to link http://idealsolutions.in/domain_registration.htm he should be displayed the page from hosting.idealsolutions.in/domain.php link but http://idealsolutions.in/domain_registration.htm should be displayed in address bar. I have very less knowledge of apache. I have read some articles but couldn't understand exactly how can i do that.

Is that possible?
