使用htaccess用变量重写URL

Question

I have a vendor_info.php file in that am passing two variables category ID and vendor ID like vendor_info.php?cat=1&vid=13 . Am using this code in htaccess file for rewriting

RewriteRule ^category/(.*)/(.*)-(.*)$ vendor_info.php?cat=$1&vid=$3

but its not redirecting. Can anyone help me for this please?

Answer 1

You probably want something like;

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /vendor_info.php?cat=$1&vid=$2 [L]

This will rewrite (not redirect!) http://example.com/category/184/ where category is the category id and 184 is the vendor id, to /vendor_info.php?cat=category&vid=184
