htaccess rewrite rule help needed.
 

these both giving me 500 error

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /search.php?s=$1 [L]



RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /search.php?s=$1 [L]

can anybody help. ?

what i wanted to do is

domain.com/anything to go to domain.com/search.php?s=anything

thanks

i tried this

RewriteEngine On

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /search.php?s=$1 [L]
</IfModule>


but if i access

domain.com/somefile.php

it goes to search.,., wtf

See what this does:

ReWriteRule ^(.*)$ search.php?search.php?s=$1


Notice the removal of '/' from the beginning of search.php

If anything, ping me on ICQ and I'll try and help further.

Any luck? did you get it working?

nope., something is missing there.,

and even the script is encrypted.,.,

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) search.php?s=$1

is mine.

bad idea.

Either of those lines alone will give you a 500 error.
You definitely need either:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

or:

RewriteCond !search.php

Without either, /Ray redirects to search.php?Ray
search.php?Ray redirects to search.php?search.php
search.php?search.php redirects again to search.php?search.php
round and round in a circle

okie.,

roger that., i left it as it is.,

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

gives lots of errors.

RewriteCond !search.php

gives 500

thanks for your time.,

maybe this will interest you, i did this for someone a while back, they wanted

not sure if this will help you
