Question

I am trying to rewrite this url and it just doesn’t seem to be working and I am unclear what is going wrong

I want this URL:

www.mysite.com/dvd-123/Studio/studio_name.php?thumbs=yes&order=price

To actually send to:

www.mysite/cat/list_products.php?studio=123&store=dvd&thumbs=yes&order=price

Here is what I have that is sorta working:

RewriteRule ^dvd-([0-9]+)/Studio/(.*)\.php?(.*)$ cat/list_products.php?studio=$1&store=dvd&$3 [L]

The results I am receiving are the same as if i want to:
http://www.mysite/cat/list_products.php?studio=123&store=dvd
ignoring the:
&thumbs=yes$order=price

Thank you in advance for your help!

From Apache documentation:

The Pattern will not be matched against the query string… To combine a new query string with an old one, use the [QSA] flag.

I haven’t tested this, but hopefully it should point you in the right direction.

RewriteRule ^dvd-([0-9]+)/Studio/(.*)\.php$ cat/user_list_products.php?Manname=$1&store=dvd [L,QSA]
