Question

I want to have te following URLs on my page:

www.domain.com/<module>/<function>/<query>=<string>/<query>=<string>/<query>=<string>

I know how to match the part with the module and function to valid urls like this:

www.domain.com/index.php?module=<module>&function=<function>

But I have no idea how I can append all those query=string-parameters to the query string.

I currently use RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_]+)/([A-Za-z0-9_]+)$ index.php?module=$1&function=$2 [NC]as my rule and would like to add those (optional and repeatable) query-string parts.

I hope someone knows more about htaccess and regexp than me xD

Answer 1

These rules need to be placed in .htaccess file in website root folder.

RewriteRule ^(.+)/([a-z0-9_]+)=([^/]+)/?$ $1/?$2=$3 [NC,N,DPI,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_]+)/([a-z0-9_]+)/?$ /index.php?module=$1&function=$2 [NC,QSA,L]

1. They will rewrite URL (internally) from this form

   http://www.example.com/main/job/p1=value/p2=something+else/PP=yes

   into this form

   http://www.example.com/index.php?module=main&function=job&p1=value&p2=something+else&PP=yes

2. These rules need to be placed somewhere on the top of .htaccess — first rule uses [N] flag which tells Apache to start rewriting from start again (in order to rewrite all <query>=<string> fragments). If you have a lot of rules before this one, Apache will have to “probe” each rule after each iteration, which may put unnecessary load on web server.
