Quote: Can you do condidtional Rewrites?

Um, I don't know for sure.

RewriteCond %REQUEST_URI != /config.php
RewriteRule /(.*)$ /run/?mod=$1&cmd=view

RewriteCond %REQUEST_URI != /config.php
RewriteRule /(.*)/(.*)$ /run/?mod=$1&cmd=$2

You might try that. I've never really used them though.

Can you do condidtional Rewrites?

ie. I want to use the following:

RewriteRule /(.*)$ /run/?mod=$1&cmd=view
RewriteRule /(.*)/(.*)$ /run/?mod=$1&cmd=$2

'
so that https://www.whatever.com/employees/edit woud take you to https://www.whatever.com/run/?mod=employees&cmd=edit

However, on our server we do have the need to directly browse to https://www.whatever.com/config as it is WITHOUT it rewriting it to https://www.whatever.com/run/?mod=config&cmd=view

The reason being is there are about 3 subdirectories off of the domain that are already backend utilities already in place.

Oh, and since I'm writing anyway, how would i handle a needed qs value anyhow.

Currenly for a few areas, I have a "non standard" value passed (every page has a "mod" and a "cmd"), but say I have the following:
https://www.whatever.com/run/?mod=employees&cmd=edit&gtype=i
Now, I know I could do
RewriteRule /(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ /run/?mod=$1&cmd=$2&extra1=$3'
and then in the code for that module do $type=$_GET['extra1']

However, I'd rather be able to actually call it as
https://www.whatever.com/run/employee/edit/?gtype=i

Reason why are mainly becasue the the different mods that need the extra are as different variables, and one module can sometimes have 1 to 5 "extra" values.

Note that this is not really for SEO, just for personal tastes.

I was going to say the same thing, been figuring out the same thing last week... btw check your rss and trackback links, they might be affected with the rewrite... and don't forget to post a permanently moved error line on htaccess for all your old posts so that those tracking the links won't get a 404... if it's a new blog, no problem..

Geez, a few minutes after I post I find a solution

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule blog/(.*)/$ /blog.php?category=$1
RewriteRule blog/(.*)/(.*)$ /blog.php?category=$1&post=$2
