How did it not work?
Did you get page not found, or your file simply didn't output the page name as defined by .htaccess? Actually, do you want it to
load the contents of page=djs.html, or do you want the page to actually
change to ?page=djs.html
Here I'm assuming the former. If it's the later, add [ R ] for redirect and make the rules in the examples become [ R, L ].
I tried the code you posted and it worked just fine. FYI, the ^ in the rewrite rule simply marks the beginning of URL (so ^
page means anything that begins with
page).
As for suggestion by
angelwatt, having the [ L ] at each rule means do not continue processing the rest of the rules on the first match.
In any case, could you tell me what you get by going to
http://radiofluff.co.uk/?page=djs.html ? By default, it usually opens up index.html, index.php, or any other index.* files, and not djs.html.
If what you want to achieve is that for people who opens
http://radiofluff.co.uk/page/djs should get the file djs.html instead, try this rule:
Code:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^page/home$ home.html [L]
RewriteRule ^page/blog$ blogcms/blog.php [L]
RewriteRule ^page/lineup$ lineup.html [L]
RewriteRule ^page/djs$ djs.html [L]
If you want them to load a specific file (for example, index.php) and pass the page as a parameter to $_GET, simply attach index.php to it:
RewriteRule ^page/home$ index.php?page=home.html [ L ]
FYI, this is what I used for testing, saving the file as index.php:
PHP:
<?php
if (isset ($_GET['page'])) { print "<p>page is {$_GET['page']}</p>"; }
else { print "<p>no page</p>"; }
/* contents of .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^page/blah$ ?page=blah.html
RewriteRule ^page/huh$ ?page=huh.html
*/
?>
-stndn.
Edit: Whoopss.. just read the post by
angelwatt. I guess this post won't do much good, then...
