mod_rewrite -> php variables

[sven]

Hopefully this doesn't get deleted. This is a simple one for someone who knows how this works.

All I need to do is pass a variable from the url using an internal rewrite (ie its not seen).

Code: Select all

example.com/lorem

to

Code: Select all

example.com/index.php?file=lorem

Can anyone help me?

EDIT:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?file=$1 [QSA,L]

Stole this from another place, its not helping me much though.

EDIT: I GOOOOTTTT IT. These forums own.
Even though they seem to love pron.

EDIT: Can I make it not apply for one condition? Say not apply for the index page.

There are a few conditions you can use

Code: Select all

# Don't match sub requests (eg. the request to /index.php?file=lorem).
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$

# Don't match requests to existing files.
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

# Don't match requests to existing directories.
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d

# Don't match requests to specific files.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(file1|file2)$ [NC]

# Don't match requests to specific directories.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(dir1|dir2)(/.*)?$ [NC]

I'd probably go for

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?file=$1 [QSA,L]

but it depends on your situation.
