htaccess virtual directories

[wmetraining]

I have a single file index.php that can accept variables like index.php/?kw=my_keyword and change what is on the page using $_GET["kw"]

Instead of creating a bunch of subdirectories I want my htaccess to create virtual subdirctories.

If the URL www.example.com/my-keyword is used that URL will stay the same but show the content for www.example.com/ndex.php/?kw=my_keyword

What do I need in my htaccess to do this?

Hi,
I can’t answer your question since the editor is deleting my answer over and over.

I try again:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine on

These lines are saying: “If mod_rewrite exists turn on the rewrite engine.
Then you define your rule:

RewriteRule ^index/([A-Za-z\_]+)/?$ index.php?kw=$1

This is using regex to identify the URL to mach. You may need to change the regex.

Finally you need to close the IfModule;

</IfModule>
