yet another mod_rewrite question

[sabongio]

i'm trying to change the url [localhost...] to display as [localhost...]

this is my rule:

RewriteRule ^w/(\d{5})$ weather.php?zip=$1

I get a 404 everytime i try to access the script from [localhost...]

Any help would be awesome.

Hi sabongio,

The basic problem is a RewriteRule does not 'see' stuff after the query string (?). This thread should be helpful: Query String [webmasterworld.com]

Hope this helps.

RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteRule ^w/(\d{5})$ weather/zip=$1 [QSA, L]

I've managed to change my code to the above but i get a 500 internal server error now. I actually get a 500 error on anything that doesn't exist now =\
