Please, help me with my mod-rewrite

[pierrebenoit]

Please,

I really need help with my mod-rewrite. I download a dynamic template (You can find a copy here http://personalized-gifts.cyber-catalog.com/template/jds.zip) but was unable to build a mod-rewrite (2-3 weeks now). Everything I tried didn't work.

This is an example of code:
__________________________________________________ _______________
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.cyber-catalog\.com
RewriteRule ^/items/([A-Za-z]+)/$ /gifts.php?items=$1
RewriteRule ^/pid/([0-9]+)/$ /product.php?pid=$1
RewriteRule ^/items/([0-9]+)/start/([0-9]+)/limit/([0-9]+)/$ /gifts.php?items=$1&start=$2&limit=$3
RewriteRule ^/start/([0-9]+)/limit/([0-9]+)/$ /productlist.php?start=$1&limit=$2

Please, can you help me? I really need help
Thanks

ok im confused you want to use + between the names? Why not go with dashes or just nice simple urls.

I know people will say the name in the url means the world, but ive never had a problem NOT putting it in the url and doing just fine. Why not just make the simplest easiest url possible?

It is not a definitive choice. I was thinking that it is simple to translate that way...

Please, do what you want! The only think I really need is a friendly URL

Thanks
