.ht acess redirection

[eluser]Shouvik-S-Mazumdar[/eluser]
hi

I have recently used the .htacess mod i found in the wiki :

http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/


it works fine . however i have a small question . before using this mod i had a url like :

websiteName/profile/3 where by using the URI segment i fetched the user id as 3 and query my database. but now by adding this .html mod re write i dont seem to get it working properly


i have tried various combinations :


profile.html/3

profile/3.html

profile/3


but none seems to be working. what could be the possible url structure for the problem mentioned before


PS : i am a newbie in code igniter....

Can you show us your .htaccess contents? Without it, I don't think we can offer much help.
