Mod Rewrite

[Stefan Reiter]

Hi,

I got a totally dynamic website, and to improve my search engine
results, I would like to use mod rewrite.

From what I've understood so far, I have to put the necesarry lines
into my htacess file, right?

Anyway, I read some tutorials, but I can't quite grasp how to
do it in my case -

I have an url like that:
http://www.url.com/index.php?page=fo...r2/subfolder3/
and I want it rewritten to:
www.url.com/folder1/subfolder2/subfolder3/

How can I get this done?

Thanks,
Stefan

In the case you've described, your rewrite-rule would look something
like this (not tested):

RewriteRule ^/(*)$ /index.php?page=$1

In other words, in the original URL match everything after the / and
call it $1. Then in your re-written URL you just use the $1 to
represent the pattern that was matched.

I just realized - that is only my page variable -
but what happens with the other variables I am using sometimes?
http://www.url.com/index.php?page=fo...riable2=value2

u can't rewrite it to an url like
http://www.url.com/index.php?page=fo...riable2=value2

Can you?

Or should it be something like

http://www.url.com/index.php?page=fo...riable2=value2

Or how should it be done the best way possible for search engines?

Cheers,

Stefan

heres what i use
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]

It checks if the url is a dir or a file & then it rewrites it with the
extra querystring.
good luck
