htaccess rewrite and GET variables

asgsoft · 05-11-2010, 10:55 AM

I am trying to get variables from URLs, rewritten by htaccess and which are passed on using GET.

At the moment I have:

PHP Code:

  Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

 
RewriteRule ^eating-out.php?sort=(.+)&page=(.*)$ dev1.php?cat=1&sort=$1&page=$2

Which is getting me a 404 error page when I access eating-out.php.. meaning the page isn't found.

However, if I use this:

PHP Code:

  Options +FollowSymLinks

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/code/655815-htaccess-rewrite-and-get-variables.html
RewriteEngine On

 
RewriteRule ^eating-out.php dev1.php?cat=1

And try and access eating-out.php?page=2 it won't work.. the value of $_GET['page'] is still nothing.

Any ideas?

The first one isn't working because sort and page are part of the query strings.

You should only need to add [QSA] to append the query string to the second rewrite:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=655815

Code:

RewriteRule ^eating-out.php dev1.php?cat=1 [QSA]

or better yet

Code:

RewriteRule ^eating\-out\.php$ /dev1.php?cat=1 [L,QSA]
