rewrite url problem

[ak47carbon]

my website page url is mysite/use.php?v=123(it is dummy entry basically it come from another page)
i want to convert my url into mysite.use-123.html. i got a code for this purpose from http://roshanbh.com.np/2008/03/url-rewriting-examples-htaccess.html but problem is that when i paste below code in .htaccess it is not working

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^use-([0-9]+)\.html$ use.php?id=$1

Hi,

I think that th rewrite module is not active or not istalled in your server, to verify this do :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^use-([0-9]+)\.html$ use.php?id=$1  [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 http://www.daniweb.com
</IfModule>  

Here, the 1st if will check if the rewrite module exist and active and then do the rewrite and the second one if it's not and then go to daniweb.com.
Then if the module does not exist or not active, you should activate or add it to you apache.

Mr akmozo
your given coding is not working it doesnot show any response

[akmozo]

This code is to put in your htaccess file, and it's to verify if the rewrite module is active or not.

i create another code by using your code below code RewriteCond is properply working u can check out but problem is that use.php?id=129 is not working means RewriteRule is not working

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^proudlypakistani\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.proudlypakistani.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^use-([0-9]+)\.html$ use.php?id=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.daniweb.com
</IfModule>

ok thanks very much great job
but this not solution of my problem i want that when some one try to acees

http://www.proudlypakistani.com/use.php?id=999

it will change into this url

http://www.proudlypakistani.com/use-999.html

[ak47carbon]

MR akmozo rply me soon i am waiting

[akmozo]

But it is usually the other way that we need, when I type http://www.#############.com/product-12.html, the server in reality will execute http://www.#############.com/includes/product.php?id=12, so nobody know the URL containing the php, that's why we dont need the way that you are speaking about.
In fact, the URL rewriting is used to simplify URLs and for SEO purpose.

Mr akmozo thanks i understand know very well ,tell me how can i convert

http://www.proudlypakistani.com/use.php?id=999
to
http://www.proudlypakistani.com/use/id/999

[akmozo]

I dont understand the usefulness of doing this, and when the user is redirected to http://www.proudlypakistani.com/use/id/999, how can you treat the request ? you'll redirect him to http://www.proudlypakistani.com/use.php?id=999 !! You see what I mean !

[ak47carbon]

Sorry i donot understand Mr akmozo plz tell me detail

[ak47carbon]

mr akmozo tell me what is best seo url

[akmozo]

You can choose URL like this :

http://www.proudlypakistani.com/use/id/999

http://www.proudlypakistani.com/use/999

http://www.proudlypakistani.com/use-999

http://www.proudlypakistani.com/use-999.html ===> my choice in this case

http://www.proudlypakistani.com/999.html

http://www.proudlypakistani.com/id/999.html
