I Need a (Very) Basic Tutorial on Things Mod Rewrite etc.

The Forum Library seems to be closed.

I need a VERY basic tutorial on things like Mod Rewrite and what can be done with it. Otherwise I'm just going to endup asking a lot of too basic questions that are already answered elsewhere.

I tried the Library in this froum, but it seems to be empty.

Can anyone recommend a godd thread here that covers the basics?

ken_b,

There are some links to basic documentation in our forum charter [webmasterworld.com], and a Web search will reveal many other tutorials (of wildly-varying quality).

There are two pieces to the mod_rewrite puzzle; mod_rewrite itself, and the regular expressions pattern-matching that it relies on. I included links to resources on both of these aspects in our charter.

Thanks Jim.

(of wildly-varying quality).

Yeah, that's the part I was hoping to avoid.

If I had even a basic understanding I might beable tomake a fairly safe call as to the quality of what I was reading. Without that basic understanding I'm kind of at risk for accepting flawed advice and implementing it because I don't knowthe difference.

I guess what I'm looking for is trustworthy basics.

I'll check out the charter threads.

Thanks again.
