Know though that the RewriteRule only works on the URL, and ignores the query string. You can use the query string in RewriteCond lines though. So you could use something like this: RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)$ RewriteRule /a.php %1 Basically what this rule does is chekc if the url matches a.php and if it does then it checks if the QUERY_STRING is at least on charachter long, capturing it in the process. If that is the case the URL is replaced with the captured query. Krist -- krist.vanbesien@xxxxxxxxx krist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Bremgarten b.
