I have a big problem width the index.php

[Max134]

Hello

The index.php is allways to me the most hard part. I can read apache manual, but still I can find the right answer.

My htaccess is this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]


/* from now on, code for other pages for example */
RewriteRule ^otherpage/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/$ other.php?some=$1&logout=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^otherpage/([0-9]+)/$ other.php?play=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^otherpage/ other.php [L]

I want in index.php put a friendly url, equivalent to index.php?logout=121 , for example, so the friendly url it would be like this:

http://www.mysite.com/121/

I try something like this, but doesn't work:

[code]RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

/* what I try and it doesn't works */

RewriteRule http://www.mysite.com/([0-9]+)/ index.php?logout=$1[L]

Any idea ?

thanks in advance !

the pattern in your RewriteRule will be matched against the "current" url which in the case of your .htaccess file will not contain the hostname or root directory slash:

RewriteRule:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule [httpd.apache.org]

Note: Pattern matching in per-directory context
Never forget that Pattern is applied to a complete URL in per-server configuration files. However, in per-directory configuration files, the per-directory prefix (which always is the same for a specific directory) is automatically removed for the pattern matching and automatically added after the substitution has been done. This feature is essential for many sorts of rewriting - without this, you would always have to match the parent directory which is not always possible.

There is one exception: If a substitution string starts with ``http://'', then the directory prefix will not be added, and an external redirect or proxy throughput (if flag P is used) is forced!

try this:

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)\/$ index.php?logout=$1 [L]
