Question

Is there is a way to get query string back in PHP?

I have:
http://mywebsite.com/cars/BMW/ http://mywebsite.com/List.php?categories=/cars/BMW/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /List.php?categories=$1 [L]

I want to capture categories value in PHP .Please note the parameter format ‘/cars/BMW/’

Answer 1

You can try the following:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^categories=(.*)
RewriteRule .* /List.php?categories=$1 [L]

This will capture whatever comes after categories in the query-string and apply it in the rule.
