rewrite engine

Is it possible to do the following with the rewrite engine on apache. I have looked through the apache website and rewrite manuals and dont really understand them.

Is it possible to have an URL such as:

www.??.com/Server_Side/PHP/???/page1.html

??? = article name such as /How_it_works/ or /Basics/

and this goes to a link link like:

articles.php?cat=1&id=2&page=1

Is it possible to do that, a bit like devshed URL's because that is done with rewrite i think.

If it can be done, how is it done, what do i have to do to get it working, what do i change??

No, I don't think it's done by rewrite.. It's done by Perl, PHP and ASP scripts.. They made this links..

Example in PHP:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

  if ($id == "yes"){

        echo "yes";

  }else{

        echo "mistyped the link?";

  }

?>

Now, save as test.php then enter in the browser follow:
www.blah.com/test.php?id=yes
www.blah.com/test.php?id=aerablah

This is what I know in basic.. If you want know more deeper, go to PHP section and ask some PHP programmer for help..

He wants the opposite way around. Either way, mod_rewrite is more reliable and efficient than doing it within your script (requires more process).

Do a search with the keyword RewriteRule under my username in this forum. Your situation has been asked and answered couple hundred times here.
