Posted by RS Shamil, 08-30-2009, 02:34 PM Hello, how do I configure my .htaccess rewrite rules to accomodate GET requests? Currently, /manager/page goes to: ?dept=manager&n=page however, some pages have additional GET reqs, and so this rule doesn't work: I require: ?dept=manager&n=page&id&etc=etc to go to: /manager/page/id/5/etc/6 however, not all pages present the same method of id input, IE. some pages used id, others catid, and others, bugid, so it's a bit difficult. I am however, trying to change all of these GETs to id to make things easier.
Posted by siv9, 09-02-2009, 11:46 AM I don't know if you can (or should) use Mod_rewrite to do this. I would just write a PHP script to take those variables in, then issue a header("Location: /path/to/new/location"); It'd also be wise to use preg_replace to strip out all non alphanumeric characters out of each of the GET parameters (to help prevent improper routing)
