Help with this rewrite

[mikemcs]

I need to show this URL:
www.****.com/CCS/Articles/Articles.php?article=1
As:
www.****.com/CCS/Articles/1/1.php

Im not really sure If I am even asking this correctly. What I am after Is I want goolge to see the Directory url but I want in php code to look up the data for article 1 from a table and display it using a standard php file I wrote called atricles.php. So I think I may need to list the URL as the second example but treat it like the first but I am not sure?

Ok I have this

RewriteRule ^Articles/(.*)\.php$ Articles/Articles.php?article=$1 [R=301,L]

but it does not seem to rewrite:
www.sitename.com/CCS/Articles/1.php
to:
www.sitename.com/CCS/Articles/Articles.php?article=1

and do I need the [R=301,L] at the end?

I need to show this URL:
www.****.com/CCS/Articles/Articles.php?article=1
As:
www.****.com/CCS/Articles/1/1.php

Give this a try. In your .htaccess file,

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^ccs/articles/1/([0-9]+)$ /CCS/Articles/Articles.php?article=$1 [L]

Now try calling it by

www.example.com/ccs/articles/1

You can make return the upper case and .php if your want.
