Hi,

I know this has been written about before however after trawling the forum I have been unable to find a definitive answer so was hoping someone might be able to help out.

Essentially I would like to find a way to convert two variables to pretty url form using mod_rewrite. Sorry if I am not explaining this very well but I am very new to url rewriting.

At present I have pretty url's running nicely using mod_rewrite in the config file and the following htaccess file,

Code: Select all

  
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteBase /

  # 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
  # include a trailing slash
  # except for form POSTS
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !POST$
  RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
 
  # Rewrites urls in the form of /parent/child/
  # but only rewrites if the requested URL is not a file or directory
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

  RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

What I would like to do is find a way to add a second variable to the rewrite rule so that instead of having, for example:

http://www.mywebsite.com/about-me&variable=chris

I can have:

http://www.mywebsite.com/about-me/chris

I am using $smarty.get.variable to grab the information from the url which works great however it would be even better if I could clean up the URL too.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be terrific as I have tried countless combinations in the htaccess file without any success.

Also, please let me know if what I am trying to achieve is not possible.

Many Thanks

Chris
