http://www.freewebmasterresources.net

I want to mod rewrite the URL's at that site so that they are more search engine friendly.


The current URL layout is:
http://www.freewebmasterresources.ne... IF Statements


Id like to convert the above to the following:
http://www.freewebmasterresources.ne...-IF-Statements

Anyone able to help?

Thanks

try this in a htaccess file in your main folder...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$	/index.php?cat=$1&t=$2 [L]

however, i would suggest structuring the urls like "/unused/language/blah-blah-blah"

that way, you can make sure that it is only handed to the script like so...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(articles|walkthroughs|etc)/(.*)/(.*)$	/index.php?cat=$2&t=$3 [L]

basically keeping the hand-off limited to certain urls and not ALL of them.

Ok it works.... but there is a problem...

If the topic hasnt been selected(otherwords there is no $t variable and just a category) then the content doesnt show..

e.g.:

This works: http://www.freewebmasterresources.ne...F%20Statements

This doesnt: http://www.freewebmasterresources.net/webmaster/ASP/

The second one isnt showing up the listings as it normally does when it is accessed by http://www.freewebmasterresources.net/index.php?cat=ASP

Should I just recode the script itself so that it extracts the category from the url and then uses that to get the right content from the db instead of using a variable to extract it... or is there another way?

ok... no worries... Ive sorted it now.. thanks
