Help with Mod_Rewrite

Hello

I am new to this Mod-Rewrite thing. I need your support.

I have a page that has links from A to Z with a list of Goods. Now if I click on A it shows the URL like this :

www.myurl.com?letter=a

But I want a friendly URL like this one.

www.myurl.com/a/

similarly
www.myurl.com/b/
www.myurl.com/c/
www.myurl.com/d/

moreover on that page there are list of goods, and each Goods is a clickable thing, and when it is clicked then the url shows this :

www.myurl.com/showdetails.php?goodid=3

I want it this way:
www.myurl.com/name-of-goods-here

Please guide me how i can enforce the above 2 with Mod-Rewrite

Thanks & Best Regards
Zeeshan

Now I'm not very strong in this area. However take a look at the examples below based in the information you've asked for.

Example 1 Directory (www.myurl.com?letter=a ):

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule www/(.*)/(.*)/$ http://www.myurl.com?$1=$2

Rewritten URL would be: http://www.myurl.com/letter/a /

Example 2 Page (http://www.myurl.com/showdetails.php?goodid=3 ):

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule goodspage(.*)\.htm$ /showdetails.php?goodid=$1

Rewritten URL would be: http://www.myurl.com/goodspage3.htm

it is too complicated to tell you how in a forum post, search on the web/ You tube and you will find instructions. But remember that in a dynamic url site there can be drawbacks as the rewrite engine may hinder the construction of custom queries due to the lack of named variables.
