    I can't get my head around url rewriting.
    I've done regular expressions before but I still can't figure out what hell is going on.
    Anyway my addresses are in the form eg. on the about page
    /index?page=about
    and I'd like it to go to the same page if I type
    /about
    How do I go about doing that?

    RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
    Found it in a site I was working on recently.

    It will sent /about to /index.php?page=about

    It's great thanks I figured out what I was doing wrong with your solution.
    I just had to make a slight change to it and it worked for me.
    It was bringing me back to www so just added a ./ and it worked.
    RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ ./index.php?page=$1 [L]

    Thanks a million for the help.
