.htaccess

[andy_jacko]

can anyone decipher what this .htaccess file does.

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)[.]html$ test.php?category=$1&id=$2

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)[.]html$ test.php?category=$1&subcategory=$2&id=$3


its supposed to help with unwanted access using bandwidth.

Kind regards andy

well i recon id does something like...

if you request site.com/var1/var2.html

it posts var1 and var2 to test.php with var1 as the category and var2 as the id

if you request site.com/var1/var2/var3.html

it posts these to test.php again var1 as category, var 2 as sub cat, and var3 as id.

so relating to bandwidth, I dont think it makes much of a difference

Yer its just a simple few lines that help you fake that your site is a .html site even tho it is powered by php,

Supose its useful for search engine type stuff however i have no evidence to back up any of my statements
