mod_rewrite

[lewisb87]

Hello does anyone know how to do this using mod_rewrite

www.domain.com/1234 (the 1234 is a random number)

into

www.domain.com?u=1234 which is accessed as normal.

Is there an easier way?

using following code in .htaccess:

Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine on
#RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ index.php?u=$1 [QSA,L]

I've tried that but it ain't working

What I want is

if a user types in www.domain.com/1234

i want PHP to read it as domain.com?u=1234.

What am I doing wrong.

Thanks for the help.
