I would like all the URLs of the following format:

mysite.com/xyz

to display:

mysite.com/show.php?keyword=xyz

How can I do this?

it should work if you put this in .htaccess (given that mod_rewrite has been enabled on your webserver and you have the right to use it):

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/xyz$ /show.php?keyword=xyz [R=302,L]

  • Err, I meant xyz as a variable, not literally "xyz". Does this work for a that? Commented Apr 22, 2012 at 22:22
  • Oh, I see. Is it just a regular expression? Commented Apr 22, 2012 at 22:30
  • Would RewriteRule ^/([a-zA-Z]*)$ /show.php?keyword=$1 [R=302,L] work? Commented Apr 22, 2012 at 22:30

    Yes, you could do that, you should just care that you don't create a loop. If the catching part also matches show.php you will be bricked. Commented Apr 24, 2012 at 8:12
