Mod Rewrite

Hey,

Could someone point me in the right direction with this?

Code:

RewriteRule ^images/teambanner/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)\.jpg/?$ /images/teambanner.php?id=$1 [L]

It should basically rewrite from www.yourdomain.com/images/teambanner/abc123.jpg to /images/teambanner.php?id=abc123

This is what id do, very similar to yours, you can compound A-Za-z with A-z, I would also allow _ , and finaly, [NC] allows a mIx oF UPPER and lower cAsE letters. apart from that it should work, obviously you need to have the RewriteEngine On statment and the Options +... Helps for some webservers, like mine where it won't work without that.

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks -indexes
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^images/teambanner/([A-z0-9-_]+)\.jpg/?$ /images/teambanner.php?id=$1 [NC]

Argh! That gave me a 500 Internal Server Error, and the following in the error log:

/home/route/public_html/.htaccess: RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^images/teambanner/([A-z0-9-_]+)\\.jpg/?$'\n

Ok take the _ out and try it again
