Rewriting URLs

[dmmcintyre3]

I would like to make /~dmmcintyre3/(rest of the url) on my server show /photos/(rest of the url) in the address bar.

I am using the Mac OS X 10.5.8 default apache with PHP, .htaccess in the folder enabled and mysql installed.

From the .htaccess file,

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^~dmmcintyre3/(.*)$ /photos/$1

I think this will work.
