Is this possible to do via .htaccess?

When a user writes:

http://mysite.com/lajmet

The server will request:

http://mysite.com/kategorit.php?kid=1

And when the user writes:

http://mysite.com/lajmet/323

The server will request:

http://mysite.com/ka...p?kid=1&lid=323

You could certainly do this, although it would be adding a very generic solution to a htaccess file which would surely cause problems down the road if you extended your site, or it were not in that format. I would recommend implementing a controller to handle the request string.

I believe from the look of your format you are using Wordpress, is there not a plugin or option to do this for you? I've seen it done before.

No it's not WordPress it is something I created by myself, at the moment I use the above code in .htaccess but when I browse h**p://mysite.com/lajmet it gives the error that the page does no exists but if I browse h**p://mysite.com/lajmet/323 everything it's ok.

RewriteRule ^lajmet/([0-9]+)$ kategorit.php?kid=1&lid=$1

You may wish from the benefit of implementing a front controller class (and possibly models and views, i.e. MVC) to handle these pages.

In your situation, you could have /lamjet/123 redirect to controller.php?page=lamjet/123 and have controller.php split the request based on what is given (in this case a section and id), the controller class can have getidbynumber (i.e. 1) or getidbyname (i.e. lamjet) functions to simplify querying the database and retrieving the appropriate page.

This being said, I am not too familiar with this design, it would be the most suitable option rather than very specific htaccess directives which are bound to perform poorly.

Thanks a lot for your help, I started to use something else because I realized this was a bit complicated. thanks again for your time.
