mod rewrite

ok i have an issue...

my regular link is http://www.domain.com/folder?aff=123

thats not a problem using


which works for http://www.domain.com/folder/Name/123

here's my issue
i need to check if an extra variable is set > http://www.domain.com/folder/?aff=123&extra

how do i go about that? so i can use http://www.domain.com/folder/Name/123/extra

nevermind i figured it out suprise it was so simple but yet this post didnt receive any replies.

saybrah, do you mind if I ask how you achieved this? I am currently doing a lot of .htaccess work and this would be handy to know...

Thanks

I usually set these up like so:



So for 2 variables:



if you want to allow it to be accessinble without the trailing slash then add that rule after above like so:



if you are using an undefined number of extra variables you can pass them together like so

folder/123/dino/news/

- the folder/123/ part is obvious and then you have a remainder that will all belong to the variable extra - this part:

dino/news/

you can use this method for passing multiples that are unfined rules by setting up your page to access that portion using the REQUEST_URI and splitting it into an array like so:



I had to use this method for creating Rules for dynamic subdomains using Wildcard DNS.

May come in handy for those of you developing larger applications using dynamic subdomains.

There is a big difference from creating a social networking site that creates dynamic urls like:

domain.com/member/miker/

to a url like:

miker.domain.com

in which case .htaccess only goes so far and it is time to bring out the URI.
