Creating a DYNAMIC Url and then redirect to EZPAGE

I am taking part in a promotion with a magazine and they need me to have a dynamic url to include in the magazine so it is easy to remember for readers..

I want to create a page called:

http://www.ilovephotogifts.com/ww

you can view simple HTML page there now....

but I want that page to redirect to an EZ Page within my store....I do not want to lose potential customers because the page is set up outside of my store as a dynamic page so I NEED to get it within the store!!!

Can any one help...

I tried to do a redirect in my htaccess file but have had no luck, so I am not sure if this can be done...but any help would be GREATLY appreciated......

Re: Creating a DYNAMIC Url and then redirect to EZPAGE

You can if enabled at your host use ModRewrite for a file redirect

You can get assistance with a guide HERE

Re: Creating a DYNAMIC Url and then redirect to EZPAGE

Thanks Kobra..that is a great resource.....I know this is enabled at the host b/c I have other rewrites in place, but I cannot figure this one out at all....I am not well versed with scripting of this nature.....so if anyone can take it a step further to help I would greatly appreciate it....

I guess I am kind of begging for the actual script I can use written in "dumbeeze"....I can usually figure things out on my own but this one has me completely baffled!

# domain.com/page.htm to domain.com/new_page.htm
RewriteRule ^page.htm$ index.php?main_page=page&id=5

This should work and adjust to your ezpage

That was copied almost verbatim from the guide

Re: Creating a DYNAMIC Url and then redirect to EZPAGE

I know..I did try it last night when you sent that link...but for some reason it did not "click" until you posted it...I tried it about 3 times just on this piece of code before giving up....since I was trying ALL the codes it was a pain...I do NOT understand what the code means so it is difficult to know how to use it properly or what it means.....I am a total web design newbie...have learned a ton but still have a ton to go...this is the first time i asked someone to "do it for me" so to speak....so I was pretty desperate!!!! :-)
