Rewriterule with url parameters

[nirfun]

Hi,

I need to create a rewrite rule and I need some help.
I want that:

modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid={somenumber}
=> article{somenumber}.html

Help?
Thanks.

A rewrite does not 'make' a URL.

If you want to have a new URL, then you need to link to that URL from the pages of your site.

The rewrite connects those URL requests with the real server-internal filepath where the file really resides, without revealing what internal location actually is.

This topic comes up almost every day here. What code have you tried so far?

I know that.
I have erased a line from my htacess and now many links are broken.

When someone goes to "article{somenumber}.html", apache should go to "modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid={somenumber}"

thanks

Problem solved:
RewriteRule ^article([0-9]+)\.html modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=$1 [L]

Thanks!

That looks good.

Try accessing you new URL at both www and non-www versions of your URL.

What happens?

One should work. The other should redirect to the URL that works, not directly serve content at that second URL.

This is simple enough that you should have had no trouble at all trying to code it...

RewriteRule ^article([0-9]+)\.html$ /modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=$1 [L]
