URL Rewriting and PHP

[Giles]

I want to rewrite my site's URLs using mod_rewrite. I am trying to go from:

http://play-flash-games.net/play.php?id=games-name

to:

http://play-flash-games.net/play/game/games-name

The URL rewriting is easy enough, but $_GET won't work. Surely there is a way around this. Can PHP use regular expressions to extract data from the URL, or am I missing something.

Help is appreciated.

What are you putting in your .htaccess file?

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^play/game/(.+)$ /play.php?id=$1 [L]

Try that. $_GET should work fine.

Thanks a lot bro.
