dynamic to dynamic rewriting

Hi,

Is it possible to rewrite the arguments for php. This is what i have in mind.

RewriteRule ^mail.php?k=(.*)$ /handler.php?id=mail&k=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^web.php?k=(.*)$ /handler.php?id=web&k=$1 [L]

Is sounds strange I know.
Thanks
Donal

Yes, but a query string is not part of a URL -- see [webmasterworld.com...]

You will need to use RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} to access the query parameters and create back-references, and then use %1 - %9 in the RewriteRule to access those back-references.

Thanks for that,

I tried that before (just had the settings wrong).

Just as a follow up because I’m still having trouble. I have a some variables with from a form. But after I use the mod_rewrite they come out blank. all my $_posts are blank.

form -> mod_rewrite -> response to form -> blank posts

Is this normal?

Thanks

We've discussed it several times before and reached no solid conclusion, but it seems that it is best not to try to rewrite URLs that you want to POST to.
