need some mod_rewrite help

sarmenhb · 10-10-2008, 12:11 AM

i read a few tutorials on mod_rewrite but im still stumped.

what i'm wondering is if i have something like this

Code:

cart.php?m=product_list&c=7

how would i write this? to put like /products/the-products-name (where 7 is the products title)

this is what i've tried so far

Code:

RewriteEngine On
^products$/the-products-name cart.php?m=product_list&c=$1

ps: another thing that confuses me is once i have written the rules in .htaccess will the rules automatically take effect? or do i have to go back to the code and rewrite all the links such as wherever it calls ?m=product_list&c i have to rewrite it with /products/$tblrow ? i just hope its not like that but let me know :) thanks alot

try this

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule products/(.*)/(.*) /cart.php?m=$1&c=$2

this way, it would be something along the lines of http://www.yoururl.com/products/Product-List/Blue-Widget

hope this helps,
