Does anyone know how to use mod_rewrite in apache??

I tried Googling it and there was something to do with using a .htaccess file

I have a page called home.php and I have set it up so I use home.php as a main page but when you add an action to the page address a section is included like:

home.php?action=links

I was wondering if there was a way to enter it like:

www.mydomain.com/links

Something that still has home.php including the section, in this case (links).

i use mod_rewrite with my wrodpress install, but that does  it for me, and i copy and paste it.


a quick google found this: http://www.promotiondata.com/sections.php?op=listarticles&secid=1

Cool, thanks
