I am trying to setup a php script called FMYScript, it is provides generic functionality similar to the popular website fmylife. The script comes with an htaccess file which I think primarily is intended to redirect non-explicit links to pages like “login” to the proper files like “login.php”.

## For some reason I can’t see to make the htaccess file, any suggestions would be most appreciated!!!
