Anyone any good at mod rewrite?  I've having a few problems at mpsounds.net.

What I'm trying todo is:

/soundpacks/category/english  -->  /soundpacks.php?nonsearch=1&cat=english 

/soundpacks/category  -->  /soundpacks.php?nonsearch=1&catid=-1

/soundpacks  -->  /soundpack.php 

.htaccess

code:

---

RewriteRule ^soundpacks/category/(.+) soundpacks.php?nonsearch=1&cat=$1 [nc]
RewriteRule ^soundpacks/category soundpacks.php?nonsearch=1&catid=-1 [nc]
RewriteRule ^soundpacks soundpacks.php [nc]

---

/soundpacks/category/english and /soundpacks both work, but /soundpacks/category doesn't.  I don't really understand why.  Any ideas?

Maybe something like: (for the first one)
RewriteRule ^soundpacks/category/engligh/([a-z0-9]+)/$ soundpacks.php?nonsearch=1&cat=english


RewriteRule ^soundpacks/category/([a-z0-9]+)/$ soundpacks.php?nonsearch=1&catid=-1


RewriteRule ^soundpacks/([a-z0-9]+)/$ soundpacks.php




thats should do it

I copied and pasted your rules and they worked fine for me... :/



Did you notice that you have 2 different variable names, cat and catid?

Umm, I think the point is for the category ('english' for example) to be dynamic. =p

Yea catid is a number and cat is text, is because I've recently changed it to remove nubmbers from the url, eg /soundpacks/1_english
