    mod_rewrite help - matching .php extension

    Hi Guys,

    I have the following in my .htaccess:

    Code:
    RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?$ template.php?section=home&page=home [L]
RewriteRule ^index.php?$ template.php?section=home&page=home [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ template.php?section=$1&page=$2 [L]
    The first two RewriteRules work fine, but the last one... current will match something like ..com/section/page/ whereas I want it to match ..com/section/page.php

    I've tried fiddling with it, but no luck. I'm very new to mod_rewrite.

    Thanks, Phil

    UPDATE:
    I got the mod-rewrite to work (sort of)

    Code:
    RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?$ template.php?section=home&page=home [L]
RewriteRule ^index.php?$ template.php?section=home&page=home [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/.php?$ template.php?section=$1&page=$2 [L]
    Except it doesn't give me that page... i just gives back

    Code:
    <html><body></body></html>
    Any ideas?

    I'm new to this mod_rewrite thing, as cool as it is, but
    Try echoing the value of $page from inside template.php, make sure that it's comming in right.

    Secondly, I think that when it's encountering the / it is outside the parens, soooo.... maybe it should be:

    RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+.php)?$ template.php?section=$1&page=$2 [L]

    But I'm not sure.

    Almost... just needed to escape the '.' on the '.php' and it worked..

    Code:
    RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+\.php)?$ template.php?section=$1&page=$2 [L]
    Only thing is, $2 now includes the .php extension. I'll just have to snip it out with some PHP.

    Thanks for your help
