passing additional GET variables

[rezfiles]

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to build myself a little auto parts store and have hit a snag.

 

I am trying to set up mod_rewrite but I am having trouble with passing additional GET variables in PHP.

 

for each category I have set up index.php?page=CATNAME.

my mod_rewrite works correctly and when i go to /CATNAME/ the php function shows

 

but, I am having trouble passing additional variables in the directory,

for instance... I have a year, make, model system i set up that uses GET variables

so /CATNAME/?year=2008 should display the year on the page.

 

It is not working when using the rewrite. it will only work on the front page.

No GET variables are able to be processed.

 

My .htaccess mod_rewrite is:

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ /steve/index.php?page=$1 [NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

</IfModule>

 

(steve is the directory the site is in on my server)

 

Is there an issue with my .htaccess that is causing this?

 

Thanks for the help

In other word:

 

index.php?page=cat  =    /path/cat

 

on path/cat I have a form that submits a get variable to the current page

it looks like  path/cat/?y=2 

 

I can't seem to be able to use this $_GET['y'] on the page

[QSA] --> Query String Add

 

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ /steve/index.php?page=$1 [NC,QSA]

 

If I understand the documentation correctly, that means to add the existing query string parameters to the rewritten url

I just found the documentation and found that to be the correct param.

It all works correctly now

 

Thank you very much!
