 Mod Rewrite Problem
Im completely new to mod rewrite and this is what i pieced together from what I have read in tutorials:
Code:
#start .htaccess code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^/src/artist.php?artist\=([^&]+)\&song\=([^&]+)$
RewriteRule ^$ /artists/%1-%2.html [R=301,L]
The problem is that it doesnt do what I want it to. I have a script on my site so that:
http://www.bluntbeat.com/src/artist....=jimmy&song=01
will just display the two variables.
I want to have it so that:
http://www.bluntbeat.com/artists/jimmy-01.html
points to the same thing.
Whats wrong with my code? Thanks in advanced.

If you mean the problem is that it's a 404 page, this is because your host has installed 'mod_rewrite' support.
Just open up a ticket or ask them nicely to install it and it should work right

Try this:
Code:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)-([0-9]+).html$ /src/artist.php?artist=$1&song=$2 [L]

It didnt work either way and the host said its installed. Are you sure the syntax is right?

You have to be careful to escape dots in the regular expression (eg, .html should be \.html) since the dot character is a RE special character.

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^/src/artist\.php?artist\=([^&]+)\&song\=([^&]+)$
RewriteRule ^$ /artists/%1-%2\.html [R=301,L]
This is what I have now, but it still gives me a 404. Can anyone give me a real quick example that is very simple so that I can test the system.

I think its something like this. I dont use .htaccess alot but if you finish this I think it will do what you want.
PHP Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !artist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(/src/artist)\.php$
RewriteRule (something here).html$ /src/artist.php?artist=(something here) [R=301,L]

I just tried the following setup and everything worked fine. In a single folder, I had the following files: .htaccess and test.php
.htaccess
Code:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)-([0-9]+).html$ test.php?artist=$1&song=$2 [L]
test.php
PHP Code:
<?php
echo $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
?>
When I tried to access quick-007.html in that directory (which obviously doesn't exist), Mod_Rewrite successfully forwarded the request to the PHP script which echoed as expected:
Code:
artist=quick&song=007
