On my site, i want to make the URLs cleaner and nicer to use.

Atm i have: https://mysite.com/index.php?page=play&id=217
And what i want: https://mysite.com/games/play/217

In the future, i will be adding videos and pictures too, so i will have: games.php, videos.php and pictures.php

But atm, i only have index.php.

I would like to know how to do this, as i have tried, but it doesn't work.

Heres my code:

Code

        RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^/(.*)/([0-9]*)$ ?page=$1&id=$2 [L]

RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]

And it doesn't work.

Thanks, Dalez.

Thanks, Dalez.

Use the generator.

I have, and i think i've found out what is wrong.

In my code, it needs to get the "play" and the "217" to grab the game. Otherwise, it don't work.

Now, i need to find out a way to resolve this issue, but how?

Any ideas?

Thanks, Dalez.

So games/play/game_id_here/ ? if so, try this:

Code

        RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^games/play/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?page=play&id=$1

DUnno, you may have to edit it ;)

Ahh, now that works.

But, there is a slight problem...

The game don't show up! Also, the layout doesn't show o.o

Thanks, Dalez.
