Thanks

I have another question - do I have to write "RewriteRule ^filename*$ filename.php" EVERY SINGLE TIME I add a file? It just seems to me that there should be a way to just have a generic definition of some sort like a variable in regular expression. I'm actually new to regex as well. So any tips on that would definitely help.

Thanks, btw.. you've been a great help so far.

Sorry, you said you did forcetype so figured you'd know Rewrite

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^search*$ search.php

depending on your server set up may need to add Options +FollowSymlinks above that.

Sorry, I'm still not getting this.

I placed my .htaccess file in htdocs/mydir and I have the content below:
[
RewriteRule ^search*$ search.php
]
but I keep getting server error 500. Can you please walk me through how to set up mod_rewrite? Or maybe help me troubleshoot this?

Anyone else know why?

mod_rewrite in .htaccess

RewriteRule ^filename*$ filename.php (or whatever extension)

search.php becomes search
