Please i am lost..have been studying Apache mod_rewrite since yesterday...

i have got this

http://www.mysite.co.uk/productDetails.php?id=13 to http://www.mysite.co.uk/productDetails/13

and i want

http://www.mysite.co.uk/productDetails/13

And from all the lectures i have gone through, i believe this should work

RewriteRule ^productDetails/([0-9]+)/?$  productDetails.php?id=$1  [NC,L]

That RewriteRule looks like it should work fine.

What's actually happening? Are you getting an error message?

Is that the only line in your .htaccess file? What else is in there?

Have you turned mod_rewrite on?

P.S.
I've moved this topic over to the Web Servers & Hosting forum. This isn't really a PHP issue.

What isn't working?

What do you see when you navigate to http://example.com/productDetails/13? Exactly.

[chukwuemmanuel09]

When i navigate to that page what i see is

www.mysite.co.uk/productDetails.php?id=13

instead of

www.mysite.co.uk/productDetails/13
