Using a question mark in the rewrite

[tomwick1 Profile]

I am trying to create a rewrite rule as follows:

RewriteRule ^?ap-t-c-a-(\d+)-b-(\d+)$ /pages/pw.asp?A=$1&B=$2&Task=Click [NC,L]

So basically when someone visits my site and hits the page:

http://www.mysite.com/?ap-t-c-a-1-b-3

Its the same thing as going to http://www.mysite.com/pages/pw.asp?A=1&B=3&Task=Click

However when I try to run this rule I get an error as follows:

Unknown expression on line #78: RewriteRule ^?ap-t-c-a-(\d+)-b-(\d+)$ /pages/pw.asp?A=$1&B=$2&Task=Click [NC,L]

So I figure this has to do with the question mark.

Any help in allowing me to make this work would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,

Practically, everything after '?' is querystring. So you need the following syntax:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^ap-t-c-a-(\d+)-b-(\d+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ /pages/pw.asp?A=%1&B=%2&Task=Click? [NC,L]
