Site URL Problem

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 15.2005

Hello,

I used a .htaccess file to modifty my dynamic URL’s so that they display as folders. For example [url]http://www.mididelight.com/pages.php?c=147[/url] now means [url]http://www.mididelight.com/pages/147/50_cent[/url]

But heres the problem, because 50 cent begins with a numeric number (50) the page displays as not found. If you change the url to be /pages/147/cent then the page dispalys properly.

Does anyone know how to remedy this? Is there somekind of function I can use to fix this problem?

@LiLcRaZyFuZzYOct 15.2005 — and what about the "147"? it's a numeric value as well

@ScleppelOct 15.2005 — This worked for me, (you want it to work with or without the 50_cent bit, right?)

[CODE]
RewriteRule ^pages/([0-9]+)(/[0-9A-Za-z_-]+)?/?$ /pages.php?c=$1
[/CODE]

If we could see your rules though, we could probably find the problem with what you've got.

EDIT:

Or to force both number and name
[CODE]
RewriteRule ^pages/([0-9]+)/[0-9A-Za-z_-]+/?$ /pages.php?c=$1
[/CODE]

@mididelightauthorOct 15.2005 — This is my current code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^pages/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+) pages.php?c=$1&$2


I pull the data like this .com/pages.php?c=147&artist=50 Cent

I do a couple of string functions to lower the case and replace spaces with underscores. And then you use that code to make this:

.com/pages/147/50_cent

How can I change that to make it works, so that /50_cent will not error?

@ScleppelOct 15.2005 — [CODE]
RewriteRule ^pages/([0-9]+)/([a-z[COLOR=red]0-9_[/COLOR]]+)/?$ pages.php?c=$1&[COLOR=red]artist=[/COLOR]$2
[/CODE]
You might not need [COLOR=red]artist=[/COLOR], depending on how you are using that value.
