However, now when I have my handy dandy search engine friendly urls in the location bar, the script tells me it can't get the data from the database :( since the variable isn't passed the way the script expects, the script is having a hard time reading it.
is there any 'quick and dirty' solution to this, or do I have to rework the script, so that it unwrites the url, and can put values to the variables.
example : viewstuff.php?stuff=2&3
now looks like view/stuff/2/3
and then I get an error "can't find stuff in db" because the script doesn't know that stuff=2 anymore. Thanks!
I have been following your "struggle" to get the mod_rewrite working and was wondering if you could show what you have so far, I saw your earlier posts in another thread and am hoping to learn something from this.
It is a tricky piece of work.
Thanks,
John

Cool :)
> can't get the data from the database
Doh!
In the example I put up earlier the values are passed in as variables ... this should be seemless.
www.ewonder.co.uk/viewstuff/test/12/10
Shows the values as test = 12.
So something else is complicating things. Could you post your .htaccess? (modified to protect the innocent of course).
If you sticky me the urls for live things I'll also have a look.
