The code looks fine, as far as it goes.

How did you test this?

What were the results?

How did those results differ from what you expected?

If you got a server error, what was in your server error log file?

If you type "http://www.example.com/load/index/1" into your browser, you should see the page produced by your script located at filepath /load/index.php when passed a query string of "id=1".

As far as "changing the URLs that appear as link on your pages and in the browser address bar," that is not what mod_rewrite does. To change those URLs, you must edit your HTML or modify your script(s) and/or database(s) to publish the new 'friendly' URLs. The code above will then tell the server how to convert requests for those friendly URLs, when they arrive at your server, back into a properly-formatted call to your script(s).

[added] Basically, it may be that your understanding of what mod_rewrite does is incomplete, and that you have completed only one of two required steps -- or one of three recommended steps. See the thread Changing Dynamic URLs to Static URLs [webmasterworld.com] in our Apache Forum Library [webmasterworld.com] for more information. [/added]

this is the sql qurey what should i do here?


$s = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT `id`,`name` FROM `files` WHERE `path` LIKE '%".clean($v)."/' AND `size` = '0'"));
$s['name'] = str_replace('*','',$s['name']);
if($k >= sizeof($ex)-2) $put .= $s['name'];
else $put .= '<a href="index.php?id='.$s['id'].'">'.$s['name'].'</a>&raquo;';

Use preg_replace to reformat the "link" to your friendly format after reading it in from the database.

This preg_replace function will essentially be the exact opposite of that of the RewriteRule that you just coded. More useful information may be available in our PHP forum.
