They do a internal route from an URI to your files. If you need change that browser display, you need send a header new location... your rewrite rule works, if user write "localhost/test/test-1.html" then "localhost/test/test.php=id=1" does the work... now, if you want to hide "test.php" from user, you need your rewrite rule and put this lines at first at all in your test.php: <?php if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], php) > 0) { header('location: test' . ($_GET['id'] > 0?('-'.$_GET['id']):'') . '.html'); } ?> then, if you enter this url in browser "http://localhost/test/test.php?id=1" your browser show: "http://localhost/test/test-1.html" but test.php?id=1 does the work... hope this help... -- José Miguel Santibáñez jms@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
