Question

Is it possible to rewrite a url, and still be able to use query?

I mean something like this: http://domain.com/?page=Home&derp=true

and rewrite it to this: http://domain.com/home.htm?derp=true

So actually just rewrite the first query…

I’ve tried to do this:

RewriteRule ^([a-z]+).htm$ index.php?page=$1

But Wasn’t able to pass a parameter with D:

Oh dude, you should better write your question. Just add [QSA]^Docs at the end and it should work:

RewriteRule ^([a-z]+).htm$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

It’s no problem at all, that are just some simple string operations in PHP, you don’t even need a regular expression for it:

function rewrite_url($url) {
    list($prefix, $query) = explode('?', $url, 2) + array('','');
    parse_str($query, $vars);
    if (isset($vars['page'])) {
        $prefix .= $vars['page'] . '.htm';
        unset($vars['page'];
    }
    return $prefix . '?' . http_ build_ query($vars);
}

If you want to, you can do this with regex, too:

$url = preg_replace('/^(.*)$/e', 'rewrite_url(\'$1\')', $url);
