Hey all, new to the forum so I'll introduce myself.
I'm Tom, 17 from UK.
Sure you all feel happy now you know. :S lol
So anyways, to my problem..
I have read over all the basics in here and came up with my mod rewrite, which works! With one exception... When I go to the url, it re-directs me to the new address like it should do, but it shows this change in the browser address bar also, and I don't want it too...
here is my .htacces.
[code]Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^archive/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)(|/)$ /blog/index.php?page=archive&date=$1-$2-$3 [R,L]
(Oh, i also figure thats adding (|/) at the end would allow it with or without a trailing slash. I was quite pleased when i figured that out haha)
eg. When I go to http://localhost/blog/archive/2006/12/22 it shows in the browser as http://localhost/blog/index.php?page=ar ... 2006-12-22. I just want it to stay as the nice and clean looking version.
Thanks
EDIT - FIXED
Hey all, I fixed this problem.
Incase anyone else has this too, the solution is to remove the R flag which, incidently *redirects* the page which is not what I wanted.
So, with this removed, it now works. However, you will need to make sure your links on the redirected page are absolute otherwise they wont work. Thanks
