.htaccess RewriteRule for Flat Links

Question

I am pretty new to using the RewriteRule, so I am likely missing something obvious, but I have a PHP script that takes URL variables like this:

{baseurl}prop         


        

Answer 1

At a quick glance, it appears that you forgot to include the dash in your regular expression and you included trailing slash. Use this instead:

RewriteRule ^properties/([0-9A-Za-z-]+)$ /properties.php?prop=$1
