Parsing GET values

[smriyaz]

Hi everyone,

I am using htaccess to rewrite the standard index.php + page_number url as directory/filename.

With this in mind, how do I then parse additional _GET values?

For example,

mysite.com/directory/title?additional_info=something

In this example, directory/title is a rewritten _GET value, so how do I get a hold of additional_info?

Thanks for your help and apologies if this is difficult to understand

Suppose you have the following redirection set (I know it isn't, but for the sake of the explanation this will do) ::

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]

This would rewrite http://www.domain.com/somepage to /index.php?page=somepage
If you had the following url :
http://www.domain.com/somepage?var=value
It would indeed rewrite it without the get parameters.
What you could do, is change the rewrite rule to this:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

QSA here means Query String Append : it means that what's after the ? will be added at the end of the rewritten url. So the output would be:
http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=somepage&var=value

Hope this helps,
