[SOLVED] Rewrite half the query string

[Helmet]

It is possible to rewrite something like

 

example.com/index.php?foo=bar&foo2=bar2&foo3=bar3&foo4=bar4

 

to something like

 

example.com/bar/bar2/?foo3=bar3&foo4=bar4

 

I've tried with this but the page is not found:

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/\?foo3=$3&foo4=$4$ index.php?foo=$1&foo2=$2&foo3=$3&foo4=$4

 

Thanks in advance,

Helm

yes if you set the QSA flag

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/ index.php?foo=$1&foo2=$2 [L,QSA]

Thanks for your reply, but adding the QSA flag still results in a 404. I'm trying to convert half of the querystring to directory structure, and keep the other half as query string. So I guess my example should have been more like:

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/\?foo3=(.*)&foo4=(.*)$ index.php?foo=$1&foo2=$2&foo3=$3&foo4=$4 [L,QSA]

No. You don't need to specify the query string within your rewriteRule. All you need to do is specify the bits you're rewriting.

 

So if you url is like this:

example.com/bar/bar2/?foo3=bar3&foo4=bar4

 

You just need to setup your rewriteRule to match the bits highlighted above. Which is what the following rewriteRule does.

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/ index.php?foo=$1&foo2=$2 [L,QSA]

 

I have tested this and it works fine for me.

Wow.. I was further off track than I thought. Thanks, worked nicely with this:

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/$ index.php?foo=$1&foo2=$2 [L,QSA]
