Clean URL using PHP or Apache redirect

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Redirect *.php to clean URL

I am sure this has been asked here before, but for some reason whatever I am trying doesn't seem to work.

My .htaccess is:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^share/([0-9]+)$ share/edit.php?id=$1

Is there something I am doing wrong? The .htaccess file is in example.com/share directory.

Try changing `^share/([0-9]+)$` to `^share/([0-9]+).?$` – hjpotter92 Jul 14 '12 at 03:55 — hjpotter92, Jul 14 '12 at 03:55

Try giving it this way:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^share/([^/]*)$ /share/edit.php?id=$1 [L]

And your .htaccess file should reside in the root directory, i.e., example.com's directory,. where the share folder is there.

Did you move to the parent directory? And please check if the `mod_rewrite` is enabled. – Praveen Kumar Purushothaman Jul 14 '12 at 04:03
What do you get currently? Is the page blank or showing a 404 error? – Praveen Kumar Purushothaman Jul 14 '12 at 04:05
Yes...you are right it is showing a 404 error...is there anything I am missing? Thank you. – Geocrafter Jul 14 '12 at 04:15
Hey, your `mod_rewrite` is not enabled. – Praveen Kumar Purushothaman Jul 14 '12 at 04:32

If the .htaccess is in the share directory then you don't need to specify the URL path. Try something like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ edit.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

It also goes without saying that should you be using apache you will need mod_rewrite enabled.

The '.htaccess' file is in 'example.com/share' directory.

Move it to the upper level directory (public_html or www).
