url as parameter

[a.nonymous]

Hi,

I have the following problem. My script requires URLs via a parameter. E.g. http://mydomain.tld/submit.php?url=http://the-target.com/path/url.php?param1=value1&param2=value2

This example works fine. But now I want to have a URL like this: http://mydomain.tld/submit/http://...

and "submit/..." should be redirected to "submit.php?url=...". I already tried the following rule:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^submit/(.+)$ submit.php?url=$1 [L]

But this seems not to work. My script only gets the domain and path of the URL in the parameter (in this example: http://the-target.com/path/url.php)

Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

The query string of the first URL is not passed automatically. You can pass them on with the QSA (Query String Append) flag, however they willl not be part of the url parameter.

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^submit/(.+)$ /submit.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

This will produce

Code: Select all

Array
(
    [url] => http:/the-target.com/path/url.php
    [param1] => value1
    [param2] => value2
)


If they need to be part of the url parameter you will need to get it from the REQUEST_URI variable in your PHP script.
