*sigh*. Do we really need the condescending tone? Especially since your example doesn't work either Mr. Expert. This is not a simple problem. I've tried hundreds of different patterns, read dozens of different web pages, and yes, I've read Mastering Regular Expressions.
RewriteEngine on # this rule will match all url's starting with index.php, # including /index.php?foo=bar but also /index.phpxxx RewriteRule /index.php(.*)$ /index.php$1 [L] # if that rule isn't matched, the follwing rule will ut anything as id= RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?id=$1 [L] Would that help !?
No, it doesn't, because it doesn't match the url: http://mydomain/?id=abc123 As far as I can tell, mod_rewrite doesn't work the way you think it does. The default document gets interpreted AFTER mod_rewrite processes the URL. I could be wrong about that, but that's what it seems to be doing. There seems to be some cryptic interaction between mod_rewrite and apache in terms of what order it processes things. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
