I have the following URL:
http://domain.com/index.php?m=feedback&cSubject=My Subject
I want to have a rewrite rule so that the following:
http://domain.com/feedback?Subject=My Subject
maps to the previous url. Heres my rule at the moment:
RewriteRule ^feedback?Subject=(.*)$ index.php?m=feedback&cSubject=$1
Doesn't seem to be working tho! Any ideas?
A rewrite rule can be invoked in httpd. conf or in . htaccess . The path generated by a rewrite rule can include a query string, or can lead to internal sub-processing, external request redirection, or internal proxy throughput.
PT|passthrough The target (or substitution string) in a RewriteRule is assumed to be a file path, by default. The use of the [PT] flag causes it to be treated as a URI instead.
In your rewrite, the ^ signifies the start of the string, the (. *) says to match anything, and the $ signifies the end of the string. So, basically, it's saying grab everything from the start to the end of the string and assign that value to $1.
The <IfModule mod_rewrite. c>... </IfModule> block ensures that everything contained within that block is taken only into account if the mod_rewrite module is loaded. Otherwise you will either face a server error or all requests for URL rewriting will be ignored.
Query Strings are not parsed by Apache Mod_Rewrite, but there is a workaround. Try this
RewriteRule ^feedback/?$ index.php?m=feedback&c%{QUERY_STRING} [NC,L]
You can use RewriteCond statement to do exactly what you want:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Subject=(.*)
RewriteRule ^feedback$ index.php?m=feedback&cSubject=%1 [L]
