OK. I got it sorted....
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/events/(.*).html$ /event.php?code=$1
Now I face another problem (In which I will also post to
alt.www.webmaster)...
On my dev machine (Windows XP) I run Apache, and I put this above code in
my httpd.conf file. This works nicley. However, my host does not allow
access to the httpd.conf file, and therefore I would expect that this same
code can go in my .htaccess file on the server.
Wel, It just doesnt work. Any ideas?
Thanks
