php and mod_rewrite?

[namemattersnot@msn.com]

ok. i give up. need help :)

here's the rule:

RewriteRule ^test/(.+)/(.*)$ /index.php$2

if i request: http://localhost/test/keyword/?show=files it properly
redirects me.

NOW, if i change the rule to: RewriteRule ^test/(.+)/(.*)$
/index.php$2&key =$1
it stops working.

i figured out that if i remove ? from $show=files and change the rule
to redirect to /index.php?$2, then i can use &key=$1. but i want to
figure out how to redirect the ?show=files request AND at the end add
&key=$1

thanks in advance!

RewriteRule does not match against the query string in mod_rewrite. To
match against that you will need to use

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} pattern

RewriteRule works against the REQUEST_URI..

Therefore, as per your examples above:

RewriteRule ^test/(.+)/(.*)$ /index.php$2&key =$1

Consider this URI:
/test/dir1/dir2/?var=val

The result would be:
/index.phpdir2/&dir1

If you want to keep the original query string with your request, add the
[QSA] flag at the end of the RewriteRule statement (Query String Append)..

Using this with the same URI above...
RewriteRule ^test/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?$2&ke y=$1 [QSA]

/index.php?dir2& key=dir1&var=va l

Re: php and mod_rewrite?

Justin,

Thank you for your elaborate answer. Perhaps im not doing something
right, but here is what I get:

[Thu Feb 02 11:08:15 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not
exist: D:/system_programs/xampp/htdocs/gallery

This is in response to my request:

http://localhost/gallery/galleryname/?show_from=0&show_per_page=5

That sould be processed with this rule:

RewriteRule ^gallery/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /index.php?$2&ga llery_name=$1
[QSA]

:) why?

P.S. Tried on my Apache server on a linux box - same result.

^gallery/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$
match REQUEST_URI that:
* starts with literal "gallery/"
* followed by one or more characters that are not "/"
* followed by a "/"
* ends with one or more characters that are not "/"

Your request:
gallery/galleryname/
* starts with literal "gallery/"
* followed by one or more characters that are not "/"
* followed by a "/"
* DOES NOT end with one or more characters that are not "/"

You can modify the rule to accept this, or create a second rule, I opt
for modification:

RewriteRule ^gallery/([^/]+)(/([^/]+))?$ /index.php?$3&ga llery_name=$1 [QSA]

Re: php and mod_rewrite?

still doesn't work :(

after playing around, i found this to work:

RewriteRule ^gallery/([^/]+)/(.*)$ /index.php?galle ry_name=$1$2 [QSA]

However, if my query string is
"mAIJX1CKDGM6nD Kq/QUfPXMxIKOrTdZQ rPcxAdM/DeJKhH9cycqCJrj ZsKgOePSF"
(that is, it contains "/"), then it's not interpreted properly. and i
believe it's my regex syntax in mode_rewrite.

This is simply a headache :) I spent so many hours on this one rule.
ouch. any ideas?

Thanks!

Re: php and mod_rewrite?

RewriteRule ^gallery/([^/]+)/$

worked.
