what's wrong with this rule?

Hello,

I'm using this rule to have SE friendly URL's, the redirect works the good page is called but the GET vars are empty.

The link I want to rewrite is: http://www.domein.nl/gemeente/ameland
into http://www.domein.nl/gemeente.php?gem=ameland

This is my rule:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/gemeente/([a-z]{3,})
RewriteRule .* gemeente.php?gem=%1

Whats wrong?

Maybe this ?

Code:

RewriteEngine on

rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/gemeente/(.*)$
RewriteRule .* gemeente.php?gem=%1

Maybe this ?

Code:

RewriteEngine on

rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/gemeente/(.*)$
RewriteRule .* gemeente.php?gem=%1

Thanks for your suggestion but the getvars are still empty :-(

... what about some flags at the end of the rule?

Maybe you should read the rewrite tutorials :

I am sorry that I can't help, but I have never used mod rewrite

thanks, for these links...

strange that this information is availble inside the script gemeente,php

[REQUEST_METHOD] => GET
    [QUERY_STRING] =>
    [REQUEST_URI] => /gemeente/ameland
    [SCRIPT_NAME] => /gemeente.php
    [PATH_INFO] => /ameland

Then you can just use the REQUEST_URI to make it work
