mod rewrite not passing variables to php script?

[scorpion]

Has somebody encountered this issue?

Given the rule:

rewriteRule ^(.*)-(.*)-(.*)\.html$ index\.php?file=$1&imgno=$2&template=$3 [L]

and the check:

$file = $HTTP_GET_VARS['file'];
echo $file . "<br>";
$imgno = $HTTP_GET_VARS['imgno'];
echo $imgno . "<br>";

The script returns for example 'a-b-c.html' for 'gallery' and "" (null string) for imgno?

In other words, appears as if the $1 takes the whole match instead of splitting it up?

The only problem I see is the escaped period in the rewritten url. You don't need to escape them in the new url, just in the regex part. Hope it helps.
