Rewriting Additional Querrystring Variables

[stormshield]

Is is possible to rewrite querystring? This question implies to a different thing than you probably think. Because what I'm talking about is the querystring that is rewritten to add to additional info for a script. Let me show you what I mean, let's say I'm using this rule:

RewriteRule ^/temp/([^/]+)/([1-9]*).htm template.php?folder1=$1&num=$2 [L]

But sometimes I'd like an extra variable in querystring. For example, I might want to pass the value of $id, typing an url like this:
http://www.example.com/temp/folder/12.htm?id=120

Which I'd like to result in rewriting to this:

http://www.example.com/template.php?subfolder1=folder&num=12&id=120

So, I wrote this rule:

RewriteRule ^/temp/([^/]+)/([1-9]*).htm?([^/]*) template.php?folder=$1&num=$2&$3 [L]

But, well easy to figure, it isn't working for me.

I'd appreciate any suggestion,
Storm

RewriteRule cannot "see" the query string, so the final part of your pattern will never match anything and $3 will always be empty.

You'll need to use
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)
to examine the query string appended to the requested URL. You may then back-reference your RewriteCond pattern using %1-%9

(See RewriteCond documentation in Apache mod_rewrite)

Thanks. It works! I used this rewritecond:

rewritecond %{query_string} ^(.*)

plus I added %1 to the rewrite rule.

Too easy? Maybe I'm missing something?:)

Only that by using that pattern, you're likely adding the ampersand regardless of whether the requested URI has a query string...
