Mod Rewrite

[UKSEOconsultant]

Hi,

I'm a newbie to mod rewrite and altough I've been searching the web all day for simple instructins how to implement a URL manipulation all the resources I have found are just too technical for me to comprehend. Can you guys help?

I want to change pages similar to;

www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/file.cgi?Wish=FFFF0050008000006221197B

to a search enfine friendly url.

Does anyone know of a good resource that can teach me how to do this using mod rewrite?

Many thanks guys, appreciate it.

Try this search [google.com] and take a look at the references listed in our charter [webmasterworld.com] for Apache documentation and a regular expressions tutorial.

When reviewing the previous threads here on WebmasterWorld, keep an eye out for discussion of how your script and mod_rewrite must interact in order to accomplish the goal of SE-friendly URLs; There are several misconceptions that must be overcome in order to implement this.
