RewriteRule with question mark?

[Bayarhuu]

Hello guys!

I need some help.

I want to rewrite this URL www.example.com/index.php?c=$1&a=$2 to www.example.com/$1?$2

I wrote:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?([^/][^\./]*)[:;,\.]*$ index.php?c=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

It is just rewrite to www.example.com/$1?a=$2
So how can I remove (a=) ?

Please help me.

Taking your requirement from your text rather than inferring it from your code, I'd say you want something like this:

# Internally rewrite requests for /index.php?c=<value1>&a=<value2>
# or /?c=<value1>&a=<value2> to /<value1>/index.php?<value2>
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^c=([^&]+)&a=([^&]+)$
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ /%1/index.php?%2 [L]

If the comment on this rule is incorrect for your exact needs, then this rule is also incorrect.

Thanks, but I want to rewrite for /index.php?c=<value1>&a=<value2> to /<value1>?<value2>

Are you sure you want in internal rewrite?

Or do you need an external redirect?

Be very clear about which of those is a/are URL(s) used out on the web, and which is/may be a filepath used only inside the server.

Both of those act on the URL as requested by the browser.
