Hi guys I could do with your help on this one...

I have a php page: directory.php which ultimately could be in the following states.

directory.php?region=REGION
directory.php?region=REGION&county=COUNTY
directory.php?region=REGION&county=COUNTY&town=TOWN

I'm looking to rewrite this to:

www.webaddress.com/REGION
www.webaddress.com/REGION/COUNTY
www.webaddress.com/REGION/COUNTY/TOWN

I have done some simple rewriting in the past but this has just been confusiong me!

Thanks in advance

Try this:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ directory.php?region=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ directory.php?region=$1&county=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ directory.php?region=$1&county=$2&town=$3 [L]

Thanks, I'm trying to get it to work on xampp. I have removed the comment from

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

in the httpd.conf file. It doesn't seem to be working. Is there anything else that I need to do? Thanks again

Make sure this is at the top of your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
