htaccess mod_rewrite question
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^login$ /login.php
RewriteRule ^logout$ /logout.php
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9_]*$ /index.php?user=$1Based on the .htaccess code above, I would like to change it so that
when the browser points to:
1. http://example_host.com/bob
- the rewrite rule: RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9_]*$ /index.php?user=$1 is in effect.
2. http://example_host.com/login
- the rewrite rule: RewriteRule ^login$ /login.php is in effect.
How would I change the .htaccess code (using RewriteCond???). If it is using RewriteCond, can someone please show me how to use it in this situation?
Thanks in advance!

place [L] after each one
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^login$ /login.php [L]
RewriteRule ^logout$ /logout.php [L]
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9_]*$ /index.php?user=$1 [L]
you said login was in effect, if they dont work remove the slash, like:
RewriteRule ^login$ login.php [L]
You might find the rewrite not always working as login is different to login/
The dollar signs means ends with, so you could double up the rule (one with and one without slash) or remove the dollar sign so it just starts with login, but then login is the same as logintomypage

Thanks very much!
That worked exactly like I wanted it to.
