Hey!
Thanks for replying.
Digging a bit more i found
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z][0-9][A-Z][aA0-zZ0])$ jj.php?show=$1
</IfModule>
But it does not work :( do you see any fault with the above?
this is an apache issue, not a php issue, so you'll probably have better
luck on an apache mailing list.
however i will tell you that apache handles URLs in .htaccess
differently from in the normal httpd.conf files. in the .htaccess file,
the URL presented to RewriteRule does NOT have a leading /. in the conf
file, it will. so your rule might work if you do this:
RewriteRule ^/([a-z][0-9][A-Z][aA0-zZ0])$ jj.php?show=$1
i'm guessing that you are using .htaccess though, in which case the
problem becomes the rule itself. your regex is not going to do what you
think. it's saying "lower case letter followed by number followed by
uppercase letter followed by i don't know what the heck that is." try:
RewriteRule ^(\w+)$ jj.php?show=$1 [L]
\w is equivalent to [A-Za-z0-9_] note that this is NOT the same as
[A-Z][a-z][0-9]
you almost always want [L] in a situation like this to prevent later
rules from messing with your rewritten string.
also i will tell you that if you ever plan to launch this feature on a
site that gets significant traffic, turning off .htaccess file checking
is a HUGE performance win. unfortunately you will have to restart
apache every time you want to modify your rewrite rules, but them's the
breaks.
