Mailing List Archive: Need Help with Regular Expression Rule

The following rules should work for this. Add a new handler for it (or just
change the "default" handler to "Redirection") and use the following:

Type: Internal
Regular Expression: ^/books/(\d+)/(\d+)$
Substitution: /books/books.php?p=$1&v=$2

Type: Internal
Regex: ^/books/(\d+)$
Substitution: /books/books.php?p=$1

This assumes that both parameters will always be numeric (\d is any digit).
The issue you may encounter with using "/books/(.*)" is that .* matches
anything, including "index.php". This *may* cause weird things to happen
(but I'm not too sure)

Hope this helps!
