mod rewrite problem

how to pass?paramters through mod rewrite

[iano99]

I've been trying (without luck) to pass a parameter through mod rewrite to a php page.

i.e /files/100/index.html?partner=123 to /files/index.php?c=100&partner=123

using the rule below generates 404 errors
/files/(.*)/index.html?partner=(.*)$ /files/index.php?c=$1&partner=$2

I've managed to pass it through without the? being used, but that would create an extra level in the directory structure which I don't want to do.

Can anyone help? Thanks

The problem is that you aren't escaping the ? in the regular expression.

If you post the code you're working with, people on this forum will probably be able to pinpoint your problem a lot better and faster.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^directory-allsport/files/(.*)/(.*)\.html\?(.*)$ directory-allsports/files/index.php?c=$1&$3

this rule produces a 404 error - The requested URL /directory-allsport/files/123/index.html was not found on this server - when using the url...
[domain.com...]

thanks

Okay, I think the problem is that the query string is stripped before it's evaluated in the pattern.

So you'd have to use a RewriteCond that checks QUERY_STRING. To get to the contents of its buffer from a RewriteRule, you'd use

%N

instead of

$N

(N is an integer).
