PHP Rewrite Problem

unable to pass parameters

[Arsen]

Hi,

Here is my .htaccess file content:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9][0-9])/(.*)$ /$2?id=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

I want to rewrite
www.example.com/news/55/test.php to www.example.com/test.php?id=55

It works perfect on my local machine but when I put the same thing on the server, I get
www.example.com/test.php?PHPSESSID=12121... instead of my passed parameter.

I guess there is some option or config which is not set properly on my server machine.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

What URL is in the <a href...> of the link that was clicked?

[Arsen]

www.example.com/news/55/test.php should be changed to www.example.com/test.php?id=55 with the rewrite rule.

I think the problem is not in the RewriteRule itself but it's some config issue, which not allows to rewrite engine to pass parameters.

www.example.com/news/55/test.php

What happens if you remove the [QSA] flag?

[Arsen]

Nothing changes :s

[g1smd]

Do you have any:
- redirects using RewriteRule listed after this rewrite, or,
- any redirects using Redirect or RedirectMatch at all?

[Arsen]

I've put .htaccess file and only the following in it
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^news$ /news.php?lk=4 [R=301,QSA]
</IfModule>

I don't know if there are others in apache configs. How can I check that ?

Thanks for the replies

What is the purpose of this latest code example?

It generates a 301 redirect, and re-appends the original query string.

Check that the MultiView option is disabled, and that AcceptPathInfo is off on the problematic server. If not, try turning them off in your .htaccess file.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
AcceptPathInfo Off
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^news$ /news.php?lk=4 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Problem stays :(
