.htaccess mod_rewrite problem
 

I would like to set up a site where this happens:

http://www.domain.com/ => loads index normally
http://www.domain.com/this-subdirectory/ => index.php?id=this-subdirectory
http://www.domain.com/anothersub/ => index.php?id=anothersub
http://www.domain.com/whatever/you/put => index.php?=whatever/you/put

I tried various ways of doing it and either ended up in a loop or it didn't work at all. If I used something like /this_never_changes/(+.) I could easily pass the variable, but I need the variable to be the subdirectories themselves.

My suggestion is talk to your host support. I chose justhost.com and they have live support that helped me with my .htaccess issues.

Try this :]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /(.*)/ index.php?id=$1

The requested URL /google/ was not found on this server.

This seems to do what I need.

Congrats to all of the winners!

You can do it by just adjusting the pattern to "everything except for /"
