Hey Matt,This is closer, still, but what I emailed you off list is to ask if you would be willing to take this one as a small consulting job for us.
The reg exp and htaccess issues involved are out of my area of expertise.
We really need this done as the whole premise of how the site works is contingent on this functionality.
Please email me off list if you'd be interested in a small consulting gig for this task.
Thanks a bunch! Skip Matt wrote:

I see that I'm affecting all the URLs, including the ones the app is initiating and that's what's breaking stuff. But what if I want the rule to ONLY take affect when the URL ends with a '/' char, as in the case of http://varsitybeat.com/wi/madison/ That's the only time I need the rule to kick in, when they give me a city and school name on the URL, and this is also the only time a URL will end with a '/'. What would you change on this one? Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+) /index.php?st=$1&sc=$2 [NC] ...which seems closest yet, to only make it apply the URL to URL's ending in '/' ? Thanks, SkipActually, you can do that, and the server would do /blah/blah doesnt match -> /blah/blah/ -> does match Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /index.php?st=$1&sc=$2 [NC] should do it /$ means that the matched string must end ($) with a slash, hope it works for you (I didnt get the off list message btw) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
