Mod Rewrite Help

Hey

i want to make it so when a user types:

http://mysite.com/videos

it goes to this url

http://mysite.com/index.php?act=videos

also 'act' to be replaced by audio, bio, etc....

How would i do this?

Thanks

I can help you switch mysite.com/videos to your desired URL, but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to switch act with audio, etc. But I can still try. Are you using a cPanel control panel?

[SomebodyIam]

yes i use cPanel... sorry.. my mistake in that post. i mean replace 'videos' with 'audio', 'images' etc..

[.Joe.]

Yes, I think I can do that. If you would like me to do this, just PM me your cPanel information (login & password) so I can try making those modifications.

[SomebodyIam]

um... id rather not give that out, could you not just post the code here.

[.Joe.]

It's not so much a "code". I need the cPanel to work, & you can change the password when I'm done.

I think a person could just use .htaccess to do that too!
