mod_rewrite supported?

[DeLaVega]

I need to buy a new hosting service and I asked for a trial before buying it. Which is the best and easy way to test if mod_rewrite is supported?

Thanks a lot

If you are talking PHP, then you may as well find out a lot of useful info. Upload a temporary (it isn't a good idea to have this info spidered and cached) phpinfo() file and look under "installed apache modules"
phpinfo.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

as simple as that

Great, thank you! I didn't remember that phpinfo shows that (that function is commonly found at the beginning of some books)

Thanks!!
