to http://www.mywebsite.com/florida-laws.php

I have mod rewrite turned on, but i cant get it to work.

    Well, I dont know exactly off the top how to do it as xxx-laws/
    but you can do it like this easily

    http://www.mywebsite.com/florida

    --------------------------------------------
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ laws.php?l=$1 [QSA,L]

    im not great with these, but maybe something like this in your .htaccess file:

    RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_.-]+)-laws.php$ laws.php?state=$1 [L]

    Think that should be close.

    If it is a Wordpress site, change your permalinks.
