Hi guys,

i had somebody setup a mod rewrite on my website, i thought it was all working ok, but i have now noticed that a feature of our site doesnt work properly on the pages where the mod rewrite takes place. if you can go to view website here and click Go below the 3 dropdown boxes you will notice that i get a blank page come up, the rest of the site works perfectly.

can anybody give me any advice, or is willing to fix it for me and ill pay you via paypal immediately. thanks

Kind Regards,
Andy MacDonald

I assume that the mod rewrite is in your htaccess file. Can you post the contents of your htaccess file?

hey mate,

yes it is in a htaccess file, the contents are as follows:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule boutique/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ /boutique.php?sub1menu=$1&sub2menu=$2&sub3menu=$3&Submit=Go
'

Kind Regards,

try

RewriteRule ^boutique/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) boutique.php?sub1menu=$1&sub2menu=$2&sub3menu=$3&Submit=Go [L]

above should be on one line if it isn't

try this

RewriteRule ^boutique/$1/$2/$3/Go boutique.php?sub1menu=$1&sub2menu=$2&sub3menu=$3&Submit=Go [L]

if it doesn't work, add .php after boutique
