I am currently trying to turn


clicks.php?type=aff&aid=1

into

out/1/ (1 being the id of the affiliate)


In htaccess i put this code

RewriteRule ^out/[#aff_id]/?$ clicks.php?type=aff&aid=[#aff_id] [QSA,L]

and in the php link.
out/[aff_id]/

when i click the link it goes to /out/1/ (etc)

but the site it is supposed to go to doesn't work


Can anybody please help me ?

You need to use regex in the .htaccess, theres a great tutorial in "the answers to all your questions" sticky in this section on how to use it.

But, in short, you need to use:

RewriteRule ^out/[0-9]+/?$ clicks.php?type=aff&aid=$1

Sounds like the mod_rewrite works fine only you forgot to make a proper clicks.php, which is ultimately responsible for redirecting the user to an affiliate (I think that's it, isnt it?)

sorry for double post but i have now got another problem.
I looked on that site with mod_rewrite but couldnt find what i wanted.

i have this

RewriteRule ^[a-zA-Z0-9]/?$ index.php?id=author&author=[#t-wname]

so the [a-zA-Z0-9] mean that it can be any letters and any numbers, but when i try something like /Tutorial Pulse/ with a space i get page cannot be found so im guessing that i need to put something in the [a-zA-Z0-9] for a space, ive looked everywhere but I can't find it.

I dont think you can use spaces, i suggest you use dashes instead

Ok i tried using a _ so it was like Tutorial_Pulse and that worked.

thanks anyway
