mod rewrite tutorial & .htaccess examples

[rizla]

Hi, I've been googling for few hours, searched this forum and read the mod-rewrite forum threads as well but...

couldn't find an easy one-stop-tutorial for mod rewrite, expressions and .htaccess examples, maybe you will find the time to do so? ;)

or... just post a link to the best tutorial there is out there...

thanks, riz

The way that I learned mod_rewrite is to take a look at the apache documentation (there's two different files for this) and then some trial and error.

If you're familiar with regular expressions then it's just a matter of learning the specifics of mod_rewrite and how it differs from regexp in other languages.

Give it a try, and if you have any specific questions post them here or at the mod_rewrite forum and I'll see if I (or someone else of course... owlcroft?) can't give you a quick and dirty answer for them.

Start with something simple like redirecting a page from .html to .php (or to whatever extension you use) and then you can move on to more exotic rewrites from there.

Maybe too late now, but I found these tutorials about mod rewrite...By first look it seems to be for beginners. You'll find it here:
