Help with Htaccess mod rewrite

[Cabbit]

i am using a mod rewrite rule in my .htaccess document, however when we get into tiers past 1 it fails.
Say i have domain.com/forum as domain.com?page=forum

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?page=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ index.php?page=$1

But say i want domain.com/forum/forumdisplay/12 where that is domain.com?page=forum&sub=forumdisplate&topic=12

how do i go about this?

my thoughts are on something like this
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)\.html$ index.php?page=$1&sub=$2&topic=$3 [L]

Give this a go,

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?page=$1&sub=$2&topic=$3

That links points to localhost.

Can you tell what the result was, the format?

Also, I notice in your attempt you have a html portion, that doesn't seem to match up with what you described. Did you leave something out of your description of what you need perhaps?

Correct, that's what I thought you were going for. Are there other cases that need to be handled? If so it would likely require a second rewrite line.

Cracked it now thanks.
