Seriousely speaking, I don't think I can create you a working example here
because your case might be a whole different one, so you'd better read the
docs to get it right. To just give you an idea, here's what I use on
PHPBeginner.com:
# VHosts:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+) /index.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&_PHPB_URL=$1 [L]
basically in human language it is:
Line 1: action: start Rewrite Engine
Line 2: condition: if the requested file exists
Line 3: solution: go to the untouched URL (the engine would stop here)
Line 4: alternative: if arrived all the way to this line go to
"/index.php?query=URL"
So, in the root we only have one single file (index.php) amd all the
requests are coming in to it as $_GET['_PHPB_URL'], there we take over the
game and decide what instances to lunch up from some shared libraries
outside the root.
In your case I think it would still similar, except, you could read the
apache docs better and assign more variables in your regex so you get the
correct data. Don't be too lazy, soon or later you will need Regular
Expression again, so thi is a good chance to learn them. :-)
