Thanks for your tips! I have an photo album that generates album and image URLs every time an album and/or image is added. The generated album URLs look like this:
index.php?page=list-image&album=1
index.php?page=list-image&album=36
In one of my SQL tables I have an Album Name row as `al_name`

I want URLs like index.php?page=list-image&album=1 to be rewritten by printing out /$row[\'al_name\']
So, the rewritten URL will look similar to /Best_Wedding_Photos/ if the Album Name is: Best Wedding Photos

Similarly, I need your help to rewrite the likes of the URLs below:
index.php?page=image-detail&album=1&image=1
index.php?page=image-detail&album=1&image=2
I would like these image URLs to be rewritten as:
/Best_Wedding_Photos/image-1.html if the Album Name is: Best Wedding Photos and image=1
Your time is much appreciated in advance.

I have a folder with several articles ( .html page). I am recreating them to PHP pages adding a header and a footer. (PHP Template)
Like: Header, Content, Footer
This can be done with the .htaccess file inside root directory.
These pages open from root directory without any problem, but I can’t open from subdirectory of root directory, it opens default page instead of the subdirectory’s page.
How can I open pages from subdirectory?

Ok, please tell me what exactly are you trying to achieve using the htaccess file?

Hello,

Thanks for the response, yes I can open every file without any problem from “cgi-bin”(directory) directly.

Mrs Hafeez,
Do you see any problem when you try to open the cgi file directly?

Hello,
In my web page, I have cgi gustbook in cgi-bin(subdirectory of root directory). How can I open these files with .htaccess (index.php). I have .htaccess with these lines :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule \.html? index.php [L]

Thanks
