Replacing a query string with a text value

- [Voiceover] In the previous video,…we used a number to replace a query string…that contained the primary key of a record…stored in a database.…It's just as easy to replace a query string…that contains a text value.…Let's go to Fresh Flowers.…And this page invites visitors to select the flower…to see the colors available.…So let's just click this one.…And it reloads the same page.…It's flowers.php with a query string appended to the URL.…

In this case, flower=rose.…So the page is using conditional logic…to decide whether to display the default flowers…or the selected one.…Let's create a re-write rule to match…the value assigned to flower.…So, we go to an editing program,…and in .htaccess on line three we've already…got a rule that strips the .php from the end…of arrangements.php and flowers.php.…But that rule, the matching pattern,…ends with a dollar sign.…

So it won't match anything that follows flowers.…We need to create a new rule on the next line.…So we begin with the re-write rule directive…and then the incoming pattern.…
