I am not new to Apache but I am by no means a guru. And I have never used the rewrite module. So I have this question.
I have a situation where I would like to add user webpages dynamically. But I do not want to restart Apache every time. The web page(s) will most likely all be the same but with some display information specific to a user. I was wondering if mod_rewite would let me do the following. www.sm.com/lo/bob www.sm.com/lo/cindy www.sm.com/lo/albert What I would like to do is translate the ending part to a different URL. An example would be www.sm.com/lo/bob would become www.sm/lo.php?name=bob and www.sm.com/lo/cindy would become www.sm.com/lo.php?name=cindy Would Apache ever seek /lo/bob? My understanding from the docs is no but I would like verification from the gurus. In addition I would like to have another fake URL, www.sm.com/co and do the same thing. Can mod_rewrite work with 2 different "fake" URLs and come up with the proper real URL? Example. www.sm.com/lo/frank becomes www.sm.com/lo.php?name=frank and www.sm.com/co/time becomes www.sm.com/co.php?name=time. Would that work with mod_rewite? Thank you for your response. If that works my next step is to learn regular expressions. I have always had a hard time with it but I will give it another shot as I do realize its importance.
