Hello, I have a problem with my RewriteRule.
It looks like it should be right, but it doesnt seem to work proporly.

I currently Have THIS:
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? /index.php?something=$1&somethingelse=$2

Please tell me if I am doing this incorrectly, but what I want is for the address /filename/anotherfilename/ to redirect to the index.php?something=filename&somethingelse=anotherfilename page with the file names as seprate variables to be used in index.php

Thanks!

The URLs 'seen' by RewriteRule in .htaccess are localized to the current directory. Therefore, the leading slash will be stripped, so your rule will never match. Try:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?something=$1&somethingelse=$2 [L]

I assume you also have the RewriteEngine on and Options directives ahead of this code to enable mod_rewrite.

Thank you Jim, and actually, I ended up being able to figure this out myself. Glad to see it worked, my code was actually identical to yours here.

Ps. Yes, I had RewriteEngine on at the first line of the document.
