.htaccess rewrite friendly URLs

Question

I am not sure if this is possible, but I have the following URL that I want to make more friendly:

http://www.myurl.com/content.php?id=13089093057550&slu         


        

Answer 1

You can get the slug into the querystring, but without providing the id somewhere it's impossible for Apache to supply it. Hopefully you have a way to get the id out of your database using only the URL slug parameter.

RewriteEngine On
# We don't know the id
RewriteRule (.*)$ /content.php?slug=$1 [L,QSA]
