I'm looking for step by step resource about how to rewrite URLs and have a few specific questions.

I've read the documentation on mod_rewrite in Apache, but I still find myself a little lost.


If I have example.com/products.html, can I change this to appear as example.com/products? For that to happen, do I make all of my links point to /products and then have a rewrite rule that directs /products to /products.html? Or is it the other way around?
Also, for PHP forms, I've noticed that I can't have a form action that points to a directory: for example, it requires /mail/index.php instead of just /mail.


Can mod_rewrite fix this too?
