Ok, I'm new to xampp and mod_rewrite. Is there somewhere that I have to "allow" mod_rewrite?
Here is what I have for the htaccess file within the htdocs/forbidden:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^cities/(.*) cities.php?State=$1 [nc]
what I want to do is for the link: www.Anydomain.com/cities/Maine would be accessing: www.AnyDomain.com/cities.php?State=Maine
