rewrite variable not passing to the page

redirect works but variable is not passed

[phparion]

hi,

i have a rewrite rule as follow

RewriteRule ^feeds/view-feed/[0-9]/$ index.php?controller=feed&view=viewFeed&feedID=$1 [L]

this rule redirects URLs like

example.com/feeds/view-feed/3/

index.php gets all variable values correctly but only feedID is passed as blank that is $1 does not pass "3" for this URL.

I tried many different digits in place of 3 but it has the same problem.

why is behaving like that? thank you

Using

^feeds/view-feed/[b]([/b][0-9][b])[/b]/$

would capture the back-reference.

It is the simplest of things that get over-looked.

I do it all the time. :)
