Directories to Query Parameters

[tman Profile]

Hi -

I'm having trouble rewriting folder names to query parameters. I want the URL:

/staticFolder1/staticFolder2/QueryParam1/QueryParam2/user.php?firstname=tj&lastname=test

to convert to:

/staticFolder1/staticFolder2/user.php?firstname=tj&lastname=test&QP=staticFolder1&Qp2=staticFolder2

I'm using the following rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^staticFolder1/staticFolder2/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/user\.php(.*)$ user.php?cEdiUser=$1&LOID=$2&$3 [NC]


The rule works fine in regExTest, but the server doesn't seem to recognize it. Here is the URL and rewrite log:

http://testdomain.com/staticFolder1/sta ... 5/user.php

Anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Please, try using the following:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(firstname=[^&]+&lastname=[^&]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/staticFolder1/staticFolder2/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/user\.php$ /staticFolder1/staticFolder2/user.php?%1&QP=staticFolder1&Qp2=staticFolder2 [NC,L]

One of the problems your pattern wasn't recognized is the '/' in the beginning of the pattern.

Thank you. That worked without the query parameters, but had to add the following to get it to work with query parameters:
(.*)

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(firstname=[^&]+&lastname=[^&]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/staticfolder1/staticfolder2/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/user\.php(.*)$ /staticfolder1/staticfolder2/user.php?$3&qp1=$1&qp2=$2 [NC]

Whats the difference between $3 and %1 after the the file extension? Couldn't i drop the rewritecond statement and just use $3? What would I do If I wanted to make this work with both query parameters and without?

[HeliconAndrew]

The difference between %1 and $1 is that:
- %1 captures the value between the first set of '(' and ')' in the condition
- $3 captures the value between the third set of '(' and ')' in the rule

Couldn't i drop the rewritecond statement and just use $3?
- No, querystring parameter must be captured using the RewriteCond only!

So it means that:

% for condition
$ for rule

[HeliconAndrew]

That is correct.
