if i want to rewrite it as

www.3idiots.co.in/stories/17.html

can any one tell me the code for this to write in .htaccess file.?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you're using Apache with mod_rewrite. Something like

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/stories/([0-9]+).html /stories.php?id=$1

should do the trick. Of course you'll need to make sure that RewriteRule is allowed in that directory. See this wiki page for more information.
