mod rewrite directory to load PHP file

Another search engine friendly URL question!

[kabbink]

Hey all,

I just switched hosts and used to use ForceType to accomplish what I need but apparently I can't use it with cPanel. Also SetHandler doesn't do the trick so I need to move to using rewrites.

Hopefully this will be an easy one!

All I need to do is rewrite (hidden of course) something like the following:

domain.com/products/Blue-Widgets.html
to
domain.com/products.php?Blue-Widgets.html

Thanks!

That's the simplest of rewrites, example code for which appears in almost every thread in this forum.
