Url Masking

[thriller aus]

hi

my site is displaying url like this way

[myvouchercodes.co.uk...]

but i need it should display only without 4 and 244

[myvouchercodes.co.uk...]

MY actual code page is having 3 query strings.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*)/(.*)/(.*) voucher-codes.php?cat_name=$1&code_id=$2&retailer=$3

suppose if i am remove 2 and 3 (.*) it display a mysql query error.
for example i was changed my .htaccess code...

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) voucher-codes.php?cat_name=$1&code_id=$2&retailer=$3

it is given me a error thats a mysql query string error.

Regards
Saju

mod_rewrite cannot create information from nothing. All information needed to display a product page must be present in the URL.

If you remove the 4/244 information from your URL, then MySQL has no way to know what "codeid" or "retailer" you wish to look up. You could make your site work without the 4/244, but then you could never display different codeid or retailer information pages. You would only be able to display category pages.

So what you are trying to do is probably not possible.
