Re: URL ReWriting Problem?

OK then,
Try this:
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. RewriteEngine on
  2. RewriteRule ^shopping/leftproducts/([A-Za-z0-9]).html$ /shopping/leftproducts.php?c_id=$1 [L, QSA]
I will explain the bits of this for you
1stly you need to put the ^ charictar at the start of the string to redirect not just the wildcard

2ndly you should realy just set your variable section to a selection of leters, the way you had it if anyone was smart enough they could enter something like:
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. /shopping/leftproducts/C:/private_stuff/mybankdetails.doc
And pull up all your lovely private information. The way it is set up there it will redirect
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. shopping/leftproducts/page.html,
  2. shopping/leftproducts/bob.html,
  3. shopping/leftproducts/margret.html
But not
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. shopping/leftproducts/bob/dog/smily_face.html

I have also added the QSA flag wich is query string append (Or ammend or something ) so
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. shopping/leftproducts/page.html?Do=Make a cup of tea
would call
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. /shopping/leftproducts.php?c_id=page&Do=Make a cup of tea
Any more probs just say (I havent tested this so not 100% sure it will work)
Regards,
Sam RUdge

Re: URL ReWriting Problem?

.htaccess files can go in any directory but if you are putting your rewrites in a .htaccess you should have it in the topmost directory. However you can put it anywhere you like as long as the links are relative E.G. you might be better off changing your rewrite rule to
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. RewriteEngine on
  2. RewriteRule ^leftproducts/([A-Za-z0-9]).html$ leftproducts.php?c_id=$1 [L, QSA]
Now place your .htaccess file in the shopping directory.
I am presuming you access /shopping/ from
http://yoursite.com/shopping/
so you should get the page at
http://yoursite.com/shopping/leftproducts/page.html
Hope this helps

Re: URL ReWriting Problem?

have you determined that mod_rewrite is enabled in your server
500 Internal server error often means the module is not compiled in

Re: URL ReWriting Problem?

Hmm, it dont look like a missing module in apache as the error outputs the redirect URL
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. something/mysite/shopping/leftproducts.php?c_id=5
Try asking your webhost but other than that im stumped, sorry
