mod_rewrite 1

[audiopro]

I am trying to find a tutorial to learn about substituting the contents of a query string. All the tutorials I have seen so far, deal with redirection (which I have got to grips with) and then only give complex examples of the rewrite rule without much of an explanation.

I have the following rule working

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html?$ /cgi-bin/script.cgi?page=$1&item=$2 [NC]

invoked by

[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.co.uk/mypage.tmpl/mytitle.html[/URL]

but I would like to hide 'mypage.tmpl' in the address bar while still including it in the rewritten URL.
Is this even possible?
I know I could rework the links themselves but I am just curious.

I think you'd need to that in a combination of RewriteRule, and an Alias in your httpd.conf or apache.conf files.

I have brought this thead back to life to hopefully solve a small issue I have with mod_rewrite.

I am finding mod_rewrite very useful but there are a few restrictions I am discovering. In reality, it is probably the fact that I am only scratching the surface regarding it's capabilities.

I am comfortable with creating links which look pretty and go to the desired URL ie.

http//mysite.co.uk/ducks/green

takes me to my fine collection of green ducks via a rewrite rule.
Now I am looking at the results of a form, let's take the example of a log in form to examine.

In this log on form we have an action which is set to

http://www.mysite.co.uk

Submitting the form directs me to the correct place but to the root so I want to direct it to a specific place so I append some info to the action ie.

http://www.mysite.co.uk/login/user.

This gives us a great redirect to whatever is set to login/user and works well but this is a log in form so that jolly user of our website needs to enter their username and password into the form. The form is simple enough but how to I get the form variables, 'user' and 'pass' into the last two lonely variables in the rewrite rule.

RewriteRule ^(login)/(user)/(.*)/(.*)?$ /cgi-bin/psycont.cgi?table=members&user=$3&pass=$4 [NC]
