Hi,

I have been reading about URL rewriting and mod_rewrite for a while but it seems I cannot make it work as I want. Here is my website I am working on:

Code:

configureweb.com/

On this site I have different type of pages such as page.php, tutorial.php, post.php and category.php. Here is how the URLs are at the moment:

Code:

configureweb.com/page.php?page=about
configureweb.com/tutorial.php?tutorial=html-tutorial
configureweb.com/post.php?post=sample-post
configureweb.com/category.php?category=hosting-and-domains

and here is how I want them to be:

Code:

configureweb.com/page/about
configureweb.com/tutorial/html-tutorial
configureweb.com/post/sample-post
configureweb.com/category/hosting-and-domains

I tried something like the following code for pages:

Code:

RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ page.php?page=$1 [L]

Code:

<a href="page/about">About</a>

It redirects to the correct page but the stylesheet is not active and links on that page become like this:

Code:

configureweb.com/page/page/about/

What am I doing wrong?

The stylesheet is relative to the path you are visiting. So if the browser thinks that you are in /page/about, it will look for a stylesheet in /about. An easy fix for this is to put "../" before your stylesheet, like

Code:

../style.css

.

As for your links, are they dynamically generated? Try looking at PHP's basename function to get the correct values for your URLs.
