[RewriteRule not working right]

Hey, thanks for your response.

I used RewriteCond to ignore index.php to see if that solved anything, but it didn't, and admin doesn't exist as a file or directory.

[RewriteRule not working right]

Hi all,

This is a strange one that's really bugging me. I have some very simple HTACCESS code:
 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ index.php?folder=$1

So, visiting mysite.com/admin should point to mysite.com/index.php?folder=admin

However, when using print_r( $_GET ) on index.php, I get:
 

Array ( [folder] => index.php )

I'm getting index.php returned instead of admin, any ideas?

Thanks!
 

[RewriteRule WITH query string]

Hi all,

I hope I explain this well enough - my apologies for any confusion.

My website uses a pretty basic "page and ID" system, and uses the following RewriteRule

RewriteRule ^(.*?)/(.*?)/?$ view.php?page=$1&id=$2

So mysite.com/story/33 is actually pointing at mysite.com/view.php?page=story&id=33

The issue is, sometimes a page will have an extra query string; example mysite.com/story/33?code=123456

I can't seem to access "code" in view.php (print_r( $_GET ) only gives me "page" and "id"), and I don't know how to write a RewriteRule to put "code" in view.php?page=$1&id=$2&code=$3?

Any help would be appreciated - thanks!
