mod_rewrite, cannot get it work. need assistance.

add extra _GET param

[fragttdg]

Hi all,

Please take a look at the problem:
URL A:
[user1.sample.com...]

URL B:
[sample.com...]

And the following is from my .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.sample\.com
RewriteRule ^dir1/(.+) /A/dir1/$1?&user=%1 [L]

It seems that $1 does not include everything, when I try to access URL A, it only got 'user', param1 and param2 are lost!

Please could you kindly give me some hint on this. My intention is to implement only 'php' pages with the above rule, that means I only need to redirect the URLs with '.php'. But now, I cannot get the simplest work.

fragttdg,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Add the [QSA] flag (Query String Append) to the RewriteRule flags, so that your new 'user=' querystring parameter is appended to the existing query string, instead of replacing it.

Replacing the existing query is the default behaviour if a new query string is specified in the substitution URL in the rule.

See qsappendĤQSA under Apache mod_rewrite RewriteRule [httpd.apache.org].
