Need help using mod rewrite.

[shadowclash1]

Hey! Well I have a problem...
I have a site and this is the current format

www.renta.co.nz/questiondetail.php?questionid=44
Now the questionid changes (44) depending on the question....

I need to change it so my domain looks like this:
www.renta.co.nz/problem/44
OR
www.renta.co.nz/44

I want to replace the work question with problem OR remove the word question completely.
I searched up how to do this and I came to this helpful site

Can anyone please give me a specific code specific to my website (currently offline) which I can just straight copy and paste into a .htaccess file.
All help will be appreciated. Thanks:-)

I'm not pro but you should try this:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_]+)/?$ /questiondetail.php?questionid=$1 [NC]

Tell me if it doesnot work

Thanks that helped but, is there anyway to easily replace my existing links to automatically go to the new page???
I have alot of files and do not want to re-code the whole thing again.

As in when you put the mouse over the link it directly says
www.renta.co.nz/44
not
www.renta.co.nz/questiondetail.php?questionid=44

Thanks again ;D

I think you much edit it in code, mod rewrite cannot do it automatic.

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ /questiondetail.php?questionid=$1 [QSA,L]

so it will only match numbers.
