Question

I am developing a web application using PHP and I am using Apache’s mod_rewrite for having “friendly” urls.

I have friendly urls like:

mysite.com/article/112
mysite.com/article/145
mysite.com/article/40

Everything is ok but I want to be able to receive extra parameters like this

mysite.com/article/112?referer=google

Actually if I navigate to mysite.com/article/112?referer=google I can see my page but I don’t have the “referer” param in $_GET.

How can I address this?;)

Edit
Solved 😀

I forgot to mention that my old rule was:

Rewriterule ^article/([0-9]+)$ index.php?page=article&article_id=$1

and the new one is:

Rewriterule ^article/([0-9]+)$ index.php?page=article&article_id=$1 [QSA]

Answer 1

add [QSA] modifier to your rewrite rule

means Query String Append -exactly what you want.
