﻿Can I pass matched variables to the new URL with mod_rewrite?

I'm quite experienced in PHP but I don't quite use mod_rewrite (although I should). All I want to ask is if it's possible to pass many variables through a single rewrite rule.

For example, is it possible to rewrite this:


into this:


and also use the same rewrite rule for different values?




I know it can be done using Ajax, cookie, session, or POST variables, but I really want to use GET variables.

Definitely possible.

PHP cannot find my php files if not under htdocs folder
Something like this would do it:.
mod_rewrite - splitting up arbitary number of terms?
RewriteRule test.php\?(.*)$ mysupertest/ 
However, you will lose your variables if you do that, as it's effectively the same thing as accessing localhost/mysupertest directly, with no query string data.

If you want to keep the variables, perhaps in a REST-style url, you can use back-references to rewrite them.

Can apache's ProxyRemote be used to proxy HTTPS requests to mongrel for processing?
As John mentioned, a back-reference is simply a set of brackets, and whatever matches inside them becomes a variable in a numeric ordering scheme..

RewriteRule test.php\?id=(.*)&name=(.*)&var3=(.*)  mysupertest/$1/$2/$3 
With the above rule, accessing test.php?id=567&name=test&var3=whatever would be the same as accessing mysupertest/567/test/whatever.
How can I parse Apache's error log in PHP?


I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for, but you probably should be using the [QSA] option for mod_rewrite, which will append all the URL parameters from '?' onwards.

For example:.
RewriteRule ^mysupertest/? test.php [QSA] 
Take a look at this question for more details..


Yes, it's possible.

Anything you can match with your regex expression can be rewritten as any url.

Anytime you put part of your regex string inside of parenthesis ( ), it becomes a variable that can be used while rewriting.. You would want something like (I think):.
RewriteRule test.php\?id=[0-9]+&name=.+&var1=[0-9]+ mysupertest/.


The QUERY_STRING is not part of the URI.
