i have my admin/index.php file showing links as -

<a href="event.php?id=123"> View Birthday </a>

but i'm using .HTACCESS to make url something like-

http://www.mysite.com/admin/event/123

and i've edited htaccess to -

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ /event.php?id=(.*) [L]

but it still showing url as usual.

and i've apache with mod_rewrite.so loaded.

and one more thing, in other directory i've used htaccess as -

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

to execute php code from html file. and it works just fine.

i'm using Apache on Windows.
any guess?

The rewrite rule won't alter the visible URL, it will only interpet the "friendly URL" to a URL that PHP can parse.

If you want the friendly URL, you just have to write it that way in your anchor links.

Instead of typing:
<a href="event.php?id=123"> View Birthday </a>

Use:
<a href="event/123"> View Birthday </a>

i tried it but is show -

localhost/admin/event/123

in address bar and shows 404 page not found error.

my htaccess is like -

PHP Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^id/([^/\.]+)/?$ event.php?id=$1 [L] 


Ithink you want this:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^admin/event/(\d+)/?$ event.php?id=$1 [L]

yeah.. thanks i tried the way you mentioned it. and it worked.
