Hi there

Newbie to the forum here (and to mod_rewrite as well!)

Basically I am trying to get blog urls re-written into something a little more acceptable to the search engines.

The url that is generated by the system is something like this:

http://www.example.com/blog-article.php?zzBlog=4 (where the 4 is the uniue url for a specific article)

I am looking to re-write it to look something like this:

http://www.example.com/blog/4.html

I have written the below to re-write it to :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog/([^-]*)\.html$ /blog-article.php?zzBlog=$1 [L]

but it doesnt seem to be working.

The .htaccess file is uploaded and in the root of the server

Any suggestions graetfully received.

Many thanks

Jamie
