URL Rewriting problems...

[Dondavid]

Hi,

I'd like to use URL Rewriting to point links like this one:
http://www.creersonsite.fr.nf/cours/PHP/sommaire.php
to this:
http://www.creersonsite.fr.nf/index.php?cours=PHP&id=sommaire

So in my .htaccess file I wrote:
RewriteRule ^/cours/PHP/([^/]*)\.php$ /index.php?cours=PHP&id=$1 [L]

but it doesn't work, seems like the variables put in the URL do not exist. And I don't understand why.
Do anyne know why?

Thanks
PS: Sorry my English is not very good.

OOPS, Sorry for multiple post. I don't understand what happened.

Multiple Posts deleted.

And I'm not the best with .htaccess files, but you can try this:

Code Select Expand

RewriteRule ^/cours/PHP/([A-Za-z0-9-]*)\.php$ /index.php?cours=PHP&id=$1 [L]

Thanks for deleting, I feel so stupid...

Your piece of code seems to not work. I must say I don't understand why, and this is drivin' me crazy.
Thanks for your suggestion anyway...

The RewriteRule is not applied because the request doesn't match the pattern. Patterns never match if they start with a /.

This one should work, however:

Code Select Expand

RewriteRule ^cours/(PHP)/([^/]*)\.php$ index.php?cours=$1&id=$2 [L]

Ok, I didn't know that. Your piece of code doesn't work too.
I really begin to wonder if it's possible.

Problem Solved!!!!!!!
The correct rule is:
RewriteRule ^cours/(PHP|JS|XHTML|CSS)/(.+)\.(php|html)$ index.php?cours=$1&id=$2 [L]

Don't ask me why I don't know. (lol)

thanks to all who tried.
