Having read a couple tutorials I thought I would be prepared to jump into this, but clearly I was not. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with these rewrite rules?

I have files that take the form http://.../logue/?postid=00001

and would like them to take the form http://.../logue/00001/

so my rewrite rule would:

RewriteRule ^/logue/([0-9]{5})/$ /logue/\?postid=$1

or possibly the other way around. I cannot seem to determine whether mod_rewrite rewrites the requested url (/logue/00001/) internally to then serve the correct page (as above), or what. Clarification in that respect would also be extraordinarily helpful. Thanks to all.

y u need /\?postid ???

try this out:
RewriteRule ^logue/([0-9]{5})/$ /logue/postid=$1 [L]

the [L] can be omitted, but it's better to have it

y u need /\?postid ???

For some reason I thought the forward slash had to be escaped. Apparently not. I will try this - thanks for the response!
