how do I rewrite web requests of type http://mydomain.com/mypage.php?id=somenumber where somenumber is an integer TO http://mydomain.com/directory
like http://mydomain.com/mypage.php?id=15 to http://mydomain.com/directory

- it is actually the opposite buddy, you rewrite the rules to take directories and transform them into .php?id=15 an example would be, user request mydomain.com/fish and the module will rewrite it to mydomain.com/mypage.php?category=fish, to have the actual id you would do something like mydomain.com/15/fish that would go for mydomain.com/mypage.php?id=15Prix– Prix2010-08-18 01:04:30 +00:00Commented Aug 18, 2010 at 1:04
- Can you help me with that then? rewrite the "directory" to "mypage.php?id=15"Daniel t.– Daniel t.2010-08-18 01:52:13 +00:00Commented Aug 18, 2010 at 1:52

Yeah, well, assuming the comment on your question is what you in fact want, you would do something like:
Somewhere on apache's config:
LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so On your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/directory/$ /mypage.php?id=something [NE,PT] This would make it so that when you open http://mydomain.com/directory/ it would serve exactly the same content as http://mydomain.com/mypage.php?id=something.
Edit: fixed typo on RewriteEngine and fixed the regexp too... was distracted.
Hope this helps you.

- Do you have mod_rewrite on your apache config? Something like
LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so.

- when tested, removing the / preceding directory seems to work RewriteRule ^directory/$ /mypage.php?id=15 [NE,PT]Daniel t.– Daniel t.2010-08-18 05:35:24 +00:00Commented Aug 18, 2010 at 5:35
- That makes sense. Since you're putting the RewriteRule in a .htaccess file the RerwiteBase (baseline for all rewritten URLs) is automatically set to the directory where the .htaccess is. Generally I put my RewriteRules on the vhost definition and I keep the preceding / for readability instead of setting RewriteBase.Khai– Khai2010-08-18 10:52:26 +00:00Commented Aug 18, 2010 at 10:52
