Anyone know of a good mod_rewrite tutorial that even an idiot like me can understand?
 

The ones I have found are all written in ancient geek

Anyone know of a mod_rewrite for dummies site?

Thanks

mod_rewrite is a powerful tool and the things you can do with it are endless.
I doubt theres a complete manual for it. not even the one from apache.org
You'd be better deciding what you want to do with it and then search
for documentation on that specific thing.

This "usually" works:

Probably post what you are trying to acomplish, I'm sure some people will give you some pointers...

Good idea :)

I just need to convert dynamic php urls to domain.com/gallery/pics/user type urls.

bump for you...

i am looking for an easy html tutorial :(

somewhat of an example

RewriteRule ^/gallery/(.*)/(.*)/index.html index.php?picsdir=$1&user=$2 [QSA,L]

will redirect the url say
http://gallery/pics/user/index.html and run index.php script
with picsdir = pics and user = user

the first (.*) = $1
the 2nd (.*) = $2
