mod_rewrite help..

[Turf]

the idea is to have a htaccess file use mod_rewrite to rewrite the following..

http://www.somesite.com/any_dir_name_here/

to

http://www.somesite.com/show_me.php?..._dir_name_here

how to do that ?

[Why]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ show_me.php?$1 [L]

I think just (.*) instead of that ([A-Za-z0-9-]+) will do what you want.
