Apache rewrite engine question

[rev909]

Hello,

I'm trying to write a more search engine friendly PHP site. And I know that most of the search engines do not like stuff like:

article.php?id=45&cat=4&refer=8

What i would like to do is to reference this as:

article/id/45/cat/4/refer/8/

or

article.php/id/45/cat/4/refer/8/

I know this is possible with Apache's mod_rewrite but I just don't know how the corresponding .htaccess file should look.

Any help would be hugelyn appreciated.

Of course that after searching a bit the SitePoint archive I found the answers to my question...

I can't look up the link right now. Later.
