Help with RewriteEngine

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I am having some complications with RewriteEngine

Here is my .htaccess file:

[code]
 RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ index.php?section=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?section=$1&post=$2 [L]
[/code]

Basically, I want:

[url]www.myplainlife.com/rants/[/url]

to be /index.php?section=rants

and I want

[url]www.myplainlife.com/rants/Name_of_article[/url]

to be /index.php?post=Name_of_article

The way it is now, either one works or the other (if I swap the order of the rules), not both together. Also if the second rule is working, the images no longer show up on my site. Any one have any knowledge?

@ShrineDesignsAug 11.2005 — tryRewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule /([^./]+)/$ /path/to/index.php?section=$1 [PT]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule /([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /path/to/index.php?section=$1&post=$2 [PT]the best way to do this is to have the url like: http://www.myplainlife.com/section/rants/ and have "section" as your RewriteCond instead of -d

@chrysauthorAug 11.2005 — Yeah, what I ended up doing was this:

<i>
</i> RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ index.php?section=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+).html$ index.php?post=$1 [L]


This way /section/ works and /Name_of_article.html works ?

Success!
