I am new to .htaccess and I seem to be having some problems getting it to clean up the url for me.
I have
site.com?p=article&id=3&read=article title
I am able to get the first variable to work ok like site.com/articles
. but when I try to go further the server is saying it cant find it. I have tried several methods none of which seem to be working.
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ index.php?p=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ index.php?p=$1
this above is working
I have tried
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+)(/([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+))?/?$ index.php?p=$1&i=$2
and
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&i=$2&read=$3
the last 2 are not working. help please. Thanks
