Url rewriting having ? sign

[fahad direct]

I am tying to add ? in the end of my rewritten url as

[site-domain.com...]
to
[site-domain.com...]

I have tried it with:
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm([\?A-Za-z]*)$ /index.php?param1=$1&param2=$2 [L]

?param=foo i want in param2 though it works if i do without ? sign and doesn't work with ? sign. Guide me please.

Thanks for the search link but what i am looking for couldn't find. I have already rewritten my urls and i want to add further ? sign after my rewritten url like mydomain/rewrittenpage.html?param=foo

?param [google.com]

Use the

[QSA,L]

flag to re-append the original query string data.

RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.htm$ /index.php?param1=$1 [QSA,L]

Use a more efficient pattern than

(.*)

here too.

Hi,
Thanks for the replies.
Am i still doing wrong as nothing getting in param1 and here is the code:

RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.htm$ /folder_name/index.php?lastitle=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.htm$ /folder_name/index.php?param1=$1 [QSA,L]

Also tried:
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.htm?$ /folder_name/index.php?param1=$1 [QSA,L]

Temporarily add the R flag so that you can see what is being appended. It will show in the browser URL bar. Use the "Live HTTP Headers" extension for Firefox to examine in more detail.

The second code example looks correct, but only if the code is in the .htaccess file found in the root of the site.

I added [QSA,R,L] but couldn't find any change.

The R flag means the request will redirect to a new URL. You don't actually want a redirect to a new URL, but having the redirect there (temporarily) allows you to see what that URL would be, what path is requested and what parameters are attached.

Look at that URL in the URL bar of the browser. Does that URL contain all the right path and parameter data? It doesn't matter if content is served or not, you just look at the URL itself to see if it is malformed.

Just guessing based on your earlier code:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.htm$ /folder_name/index.php?lastitle=$1&param2=%1 [L]

This takes a client request for /xyz.htm?abc and rewrites it to /folder_name/index.php?title=xyz&param2=abc

[site-domain.com...] works quite fine now with ? sign but when i try without ? sign it doesn't work like:

[site-domain.com...]

Any help please.

When you temporarily added the R to "see" the path and parameters, you should have seen:

/index.php?param1=value&add

rather the required value of:

/index.php?param1=value&param2=add

and that should have told you that I misread the question when I supplied some example code.



In the current code, the

(.+)

insists there is a parameter present for the following Rewrite to happen.

Change the

.+

to

.*

if the parameter is optional.
