Improving My Rule

[david64]

Hi. I have a rule that I need improving slightly:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^feed$ index.php?mode=XML&request=$0 [QSA,L]


To sum it up, when someone goes to domain.ext/feed, PHP gets told to go into XML mode. This works fine and dandy. However, I am having trouble getting extra info through in the URL.

For example, I might want to do domain.ext/feed/last-month. However, I don't know how to get this to work without also making PHP think it should go to XML mode when the url is domain.ext/feed/

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^feed/(.+)$ index.php?mode=XML&request=$0 [QSA,L]


I could do the above, but I don't want the rule to work when feed is trailed with a slash (directory).

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^feed\/(.+)|feed$ index.php?mode=XML&request=$0 [QSA,L]


is doing the trick. I don't know if anyone can recommend anything else.

I would use

Code: Select all

^feed(/.*)?$
