Multiple Variable ReDirects

[gtlitc]

Code: Select all

# Rewrite static URLs with 0 param to dynamic.
rewriteRule ^cat/?$ /shop.php [L]

# Rewrite static URLs with 1 param to dynamic.
rewriteRule ^cat/([^/]+)/?$ /shop.php?var1=$1 [L]

# Rewrite static URLs with 2 params to dynamic.
rewriteRule ^cat/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /shop.php?var1=$1&var2=$2 [L]

# Rewrite static URLs with 3 params to dynamic.
rewriteRule ^cat([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /shop.php?var1=$1&var2=$2&var3=$3 [L]


I have this working well so that the following happens.
website.com/cat/a/b/c --> website.com/shop.php?v1=a&v2=b&v3=c

But really I would like to remove the "cat" pseudodirectory, thus.
website.com/a/b/c --> website.com/shop.php?v1=a&v2=b&v3=c


Any ideas. Ive been round the block on this one! going a bit crazy :=}

Try

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

# If it's not a request for an existing file
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
# and it's not a request for an existing directory
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
# rewrite.
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)(?:/([^/]+)(?:/([^/]+))?)?/?$ /shop.php?var1=$1&var2=$2&var3=$3 [QSA,L]

Working but how can I expand this to 7 vars?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Code: Select all

(?:/([^/]+))?

is nested here

Code: Select all

(?:/([^/]+)HERE)?

You can have up to 9 (including the first one).

7

Code: Select all

^([^/]+)(?:/([^/]+)(?:/([^/]+)(?:/([^/]+)(?:/([^/]+)(?:/([^/]+)(?:/([^/]+))?)?)?)?)?)?/?$
