hey I was wondering how to rewrite an url from

user.php?username=$username&error=$error

to something like

/user/$username/$error

any help will be appreciated.

Re: mod_rewrite

ok i found this:

RewriteRule ^user/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /user.php?username=$1&error=$2 [NC]

this works but only when then an error has encountered so:

'/user/someuser/someerror' works but

/user/someuser doesn't.

any idea how to solve this?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /user.php?username=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /user.php?username=$1&error=$2 [L]

 

first would display as "http://example.com/username/" & second rewrite rule as "http://example.com/username/error/"

Though, if you want to keep the "user" in the url..

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^user/([^/]*)/$ /user.php?username=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^user/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /user.php?username=$1&error=$2 [L]

I would use this one, since i'd usually have other rewrote url's throughout the site.
