url ending with a '/' breaks GET vars

[mattock]

Hi

I have the following url:

www.mysite.com/venues/one/two/three
which re-writes to:
www.mysite.com/venues.php?id1=one&id2=two&id3=three

using the following rule:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^venues/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ venues.php?id1=$1&id2=$2&id3=$3 [L]


how ever, when i add a forward slash to the end of the url, the first two GET vars are concatenated, eg


www.mysite.com/venues/one/two/three/
re-writes to:
www.mysite.com/venues.php?id1=one/two&id2=three&id3=

Little stuck, how would i fix this?

Thanks

.* is greedy, the first .* matches as much as possible. You should write an appropriate character class (instead of [^/] in below).

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^venues/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /venues.php?id1=$1&id2=$2&id3=$3 [L]
