Thanks for trying to help. The script idea doesn't work on my
misconfigured served which I don't have complete control over. The
"php_errorm sg" was created, but empty. I'm now trying to figure out how
to solve this problem right within the htaccess file, and this is my
current try:

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)-([0-9]*).html show.php?title= $1&part=$2

And then someone suggested this but it doesn't quite work for me...

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^title=([a-z]+)&part=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^book.php$ %1-%2? [redirect=perman ent]

Any chance you can get to your error log files? Also, have you tried
threatening bodily harm to your provider's employees unless they start
showing you your rightly-deserved error messages...

Who knows, it might work... might get you thrown in jail, tho'.

Adjust your browser settings to see no-friendly HTTP message or
just use some HTTP sniffers to see the all the responses. I guess, the
script dies somewhere. May be you could post the URL of the page?

It's the error message HTML of my host... not the browser-one... but
thanks to all I officially give up on solving this with PHP and instead
try to solve it via htaccess. In fact I offer $20 at Google Answers for
a solution:
