mod rewrite php query to directory

problem trying to change a query to a directory with mod rewrite

[anthonyweston]

hi, i have looked in existing posts to find how to do this but all my attempts have failed.

anyhow. all i am trying to do is change index.php?p=d to /latestlinks

dont laugh... but this is what i was using:

RewriteRule ^index.php?p=d$ /latestlinks

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks :)

It is likely that this is actually backwards. Read this thread [webmasterworld.com] carefully, and see if it helps you get started.
