Awesome mod_rewrite / .htaccess Tutorial

Found an awesome Apache mod_rewrite via .htaccess tutorial tonite at yourhtmlsource. For those in the know, mod_rewrite is a killer way to get “clean urls” - i.e.:

“foo.com/bar”

…as opposed to:

“foo.com/index.php?pageid=bar”

I’ve previously used .htaccess “ForceType” commands to get the job done, but this time around I needed to rewrite from the root, i.e.: “foo.com/bar” where “bar” can be any alphanumeric string which serves as a unique content id.

Anyway, that’s it. Just sharing a great tutorial. Enjoy!
