i have a specific question concerning mod_rewrite:

when the user calls:

www.test.com/p/about

the webserver should call internally

www.test.com/?p=about

to access subpages of the website.

but in the adress bar it should still say

www.test.com/p/about

is this anyhow possible with mod_rewrite?

My solutions that did not work out:

1. Try

   RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_+]+)$ index.php?p=$1 [L]

Wrong effect, because it only works with: test.com/about, but I need test.com/p/about!

1. Try

   RewriteRule ^p/([a-zA-Z]+)$ index.php?p=$1

Error: it redirects correct but the paths on the html file are wrong: eg. /img/pic.png is now /p/img/pic.png

big thanks, stee

• php
• mod-rewrite

Yes, this is possible with mod_rewrite:

RewriteRule ^p/([a-zA-Z]+)$ index.php?p=$1

Or, more generally:

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)$ index.php?$1=$2
