I`m new here. This is my first post.
I`ve got http://www.example.pl/polish/index.php?sub=main&id=12
Is possible to change this to http://www.example.pl/polish/main/12
or http://www.example.pl/main/12
What i must write in to my .htaccess file?
Sorry for my bad english :)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^main/([0-9]*) /polish/index.php?sub=main&id=$1
This will rewrite
http://www.example.pl/main/123456
to
http://www.example.pl/polish/index.php?sub=main&id=123456
Not 100% on this but if you use the above line do make sure you put it in a .htaccess file that is in your "main" folder so not in directory polish but itīs parent dir, most likely public_html or www
Anyway, I just needed the above myself today, but after finding out how to do it and getting it working, I ran into a new problem.
Within my page or "set-up" which is:
http://www.example.com/files/21323/ (or without the trailing slash)
being rewritten to
http://www.example.com/file.info?ID=21323
Using this line:
RewriteRule ^files/([0-9]*) file.info?ID=$1
But now to my next problem (the above works fine so thats not it), I also have an option to expand comments on the file, it's url is then
http://www.example.com/file.info?ID=21323&action=expand
(and followed by a #1234 so it "auto-scrolls" down to the comment they want to expand, but that aside)
So what should I rewrite my rule to so that, for example, I can make the expand links:
http://www.example.com/files/21323/expand#1234
(with 1234 being the Comment number to autoscroll to and 21323 being the File ID)
I know you cant do if then statements in apache :) but in pseudo it would be:
if requested url contains "expand" then follow this rule:
RewriteRule ^files/([0-9]*)/expand#([0-9]*) file.info?ID=$1&action=expand#$2
but if it contains no expand then use the rule i already have:
RewriteRule ^files/([0-9]*) file.info?ID=$1
So anyway I have no clue how to handle the above problem, if anyone can shed some light on that issue, thatīd be awesome, thanks in advance!

Simply add an [L] flag onto the end of your first rule. If the pattern in the rule matches and the URL is rewritten, then mod_rewrite will quit right there and serve the requested resource from the new URL. If not, it will continue on to the next rule.
In most applications, almost *all* RewriteRules should have an [L] flag.
RewriteRule ^files/([0-9]*)/expand#([0-9]*) file.info?ID=$1&action=expand#$2 [b][L][/b]
RewriteRule ^files/([0-9]*) file.info?ID=$1 [L]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^files/([0-9]*)/expand#([0-9]*) file.info?ID=$1&action=expand#$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^files/([0-9]*) file.info?ID=$1 [L]
However, Iīll fix it with PHP and use
http://www.example.com/files/21323
and
http://www.example.com/files/21323expand#1234
(note no slash before expand)
If PHP finds "expand" in the Query ID it will define $action="expand";
And then strip the word from the ID and check if itīs still a valid number.
That means Iīll have to modify the rewriterule regex but that shouldnīt be a problem so it becomes:
RewriteRule ^files/([0-9expand]*) file.info?ID=$1 [L]
And that works (with the nessesary modifications to my php script) I even like it better like this
http://www.example.com/files/21323x#1234
Anyway thx Jim!

I`ve go something like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/polish/index.php?sub=main&id=(.)$ /main/$1.php [L]
but it doesn`t work :(
Please help me change part of url http:.../polish/index.php?sub=main&id=12
to more friendly url http:...../polish/main/(integer).php
I`ve check many rules :(
It is very important for me:(
Please help me.
In order to back-reference the query string, you'll need to use RewriteCond:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^polish/index\.php$ /main/%1.php [L]
It works like this:
The script outputs friendly URLs to browsers and search engine spiders.
The browser or search engine spider then requests friendly URLs.
Mod_rewrite converts friendly-URL requests to requests for your script with a query string.
The script runs, and outputs more friendly URLs, which again may be requested by the browser or spider.
It is important to note *when* mod_rewrite acts; after an HTTP request is received, but before any content is served. For this reason, the usual mod_rewrite action is to translate from friendly to "unfriendly" URLs, not the other way around.
You may indeed have a reason to do the opposite translation - I just want to make sure that the issue is clear.
Jim
I`m so happy, Thank you very much!
But I`ve got only one questione. Is possible change http:.../polish/main35.php to http:.../main/35.php without changing directory? I`ve tried to remove "polish" from RewriteRule ^polish/index\.php$ /main/%1.php [L] but it doesn`t work.
If I understand your question, you'll need to change the rule:
RewriteRule ^polish/index\.php$ /polish/main/%1.php [L]
Change this dynamic url http:.../polish/index.php?sub=main&id=12 to http:.../main/12.php
Now i`ve got http:.../polish/main/12.php it works grea but is possible to change for http:.../main/12.php?
Just remove "polish" phrase
I must learn english a lot.
Sorry for my mistakes
http:.../polish/index.php?sub=main&id=12 -> http:.../main/12.php
would be:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([^&]*)
RewriteRule ^polish/index\.php$ /main/%1.php [L]
Jim
Finally i`ve decide that my url will be like this
http:.../polish/35.php not http:.../main/35.php
Is possible to change it? I`ve tried but ... you now :)
I will teache you speak in polish. It`s easy to learn, realy.
Dziekuje bardzo == Thank you very much
RewriteRule ^polish/index\.php$ /[b]main[/b]/%1.php [L]
Jim
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([^&]*)
RewriteRule ^polish/index\.php$ /polish/%1.php [L]
i`ve got error message 404 file not found.
Why? Where is a mistake?
