PHP Friendly URLS .htaccess?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 15.2007

Hi I have been totally stumped, I’ve searched and search on this subject and what I have tried hasn’t worked.

Here’s the File:

[code=php]site.com/article.php?foo=23&bar[/code]

I would like to be able to type

[code=php]site.com/article/23/bar[/code]

To access the same article. How do I do that?

@hdoggauthorNov 15.2007 — I've way confused about mod rewrite.... Does it have to be enabled... And do I make those changes in .htaccess?

@TJ111Nov 15.2007 — The link I posted shows you exactly how to use mod rewrite, even more specifically for PHP pages.

@hdoggauthorNov 15.2007 — But what if you are on a shared host?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@TJ111Nov 15.2007 — As long as mod-rewrite is enabled you can do all of it in your .htaccess file. If you can't, contact your host about the possibility of enabling it.

@hdoggauthorNov 15.2007 — Is that enabled in php.ini?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@TJ111Nov 15.2007 — No it's in the httpd.conf (apache config file). To test it, make a really simple rewrite rule in your .htaccess and see if it works.

@hdoggauthorNov 15.2007 — Can .htaccess have as little or as much commands in it? Meaning could i have a blank .htaccess file and add a simple command line and have it work?

@TJ111Nov 15.2007 — Yep.
