how to pass the variable to abc.php ?? like now i m passing :

abc.php?cat=maincatone&dat=$_SESSION[dat]

Should be something along those lines...

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([0-9\-]+)\/([a-zA-Z]+)\.html$ abc.php?cat=$2&dat=$1 [QSA,L]



I haven't tested it, but i figured this way you could give a twirl while waiting for richardk to chime in

I'd match the date more strictly so you don't need the conditions (you would only need the files test anyway, as it ends in .html and that is unlikely in a directory name).

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([12][0-9]{3}-(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(?:0[1-9]|2[0-9]|3[01]))/([a-z]+)\.html$ /abc.php?dat=$1&cat=$2 [NC,QSA,L]

The year range could be matched more strictly.
