mod rewrite question

[delchai]

Hi,

Im just getting into mod rewrite and am having some issues.

I have a URL that looks similar to

http://example.com/product/product-name?page=2

I would like it to look like this

http://example.com/product/product-name/2/

I am using the following snippet to hide my PHP extensions...

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

And tried adding this:
RewriteRule /product/([A-Z¦a-z¦0-9¦\-¦\_]*)\?page=([0-9]*) /product/$1/$2/

But I get a "no input file specified" error when I try it. Does anybody know how I could solve this?

Check through the posts from the last few days here.

I am sure that a very similar question was asked and answered only yesterday or the day before.

Your rule is back to front. The links on your page need to use the new style "foldered" URLs. The RewriteRule then simply takes that URL request and translates it into the internal server filepath where that content actually resides.

oops! I had it backwards. I feel slighty sheepish. I've got it working just great now. Thanks!
