So on our site, we have dynamic pages which will fetch info on what is requested. For the sake of making sense, I’ll use our blog as an example.
So I have website.com/blog/article?id=4, which will fetch a certain article from the data base. After looking around for this answer, I couldn’t figure anything out. I want the url to look like website.com/blog/article/4. Using the help of Google, I came up with this:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ article.php?id=$1
Since both blog and article are actual pages, I couldn’t have arguments for what page I want specifically. Any help on how to achieve this will be appreciated.
