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=$1 [L] > > Would that help !? No, it doesn't, because it doesn't match the url: http://mydomain/?id=abc123 As far as I can tell, mod_rewrite doesn't work the way you think it does. The default document gets interpreted AFTER mod_rewrite processes the URL. I could be wrong about that, but that's what it seems to be doing. There seems to be some cryptic interaction between mod_rewrite and apache in terms of what order it processes things.
What is missing is the special handling of the query string described
in the box "Note: Query String" under here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
You could probably use something like
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=.*$
RewriteRule !/index\.php /index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?id=$1 [L]
And given the first set of rules duplicates what mod_dir will already
be doing, you might even be able to get away with just
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^id=
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?id=$1 [L]
Use the RewriteLog for further debugging.
