Comments on: Create SEO Friendly URLs With Mod Rewrite and PHP – Part II

Hello, I'm having trouble with the return url.

I'm using mod-rewrite to create a friendly url from a dynamic URL

The Dynamic URL looks like this.. Airframe_list.php?editid1=123456

I have written a friendly URL that looks like this..

Airframe-123456-friendly-Test-Description.htm

I'm using this to resolve the url.

RewriteRule ^Airframe-Parts-([0-9]+)-(.*).htm$ main_view.php?editid1=$1 [R=301,NC,L]

This works fine and the program executes correctly; however, after the page is called up I get the resolved url in the url line.

I get this in the url line. > Airframe_list.php?editid1=123456

I want this in the url line> Airframe-123456-friendly-Test-Description.htm

I think this is best answer for any php developer that is handling url rewriting rules.

But what would be the .htaccess file for this.

Is it not require .htaccess file.

thanks

@Sergio The problem will be seen, if you are using an external CSS stylesheet using relative path like /style.css or ../style.css, try changing the stylesheet to use a full path starting with http:// this should solve your problem.

@Shantanu @shubhodeep Thanks for the heads up, the issue has been fixed now

yeah, as shantanu pointed out, the post is a bit cut off on the right hand side. I’m suing FF3 under Vista.
