Hey
I'm trying to rewrite an url to my website with mod_rewrite.
I have something like this:
| Code: | | http://www.example.com/home.php?link=mypage&product=235 |
Due to a new website I have new urls but I want the old once to stay compatible.
I tried to rewrite them to:
| Code: | | http://www.example.com/index.php?product=235 |
I have tried the following rewrite rule:
| Code: |
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule home.php\?link=mypage&product=(.*) index.php?product=$1
|
But it doesnt seem to work, adding ^ and $ doesn't help aswell.
Could any one help me out here?
Thanks in advance. |

In general, please ask mod_rewrite questions at http://forum.modrewrite.com/ rather than here.
Since your's is a simple case, here's the answer:
RewriteRule won't match the query string part - just the filename part: home.php. See the mod_rewrite docs.
The dot in home.php needs a backslash, else it will match any character. For example homeXphp would match your regex.
I think you want this: | Code: | RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} link=mypage&product=(.*)
RewriteRule ^home\.php$ index.php?product=%1 |
Note that when you take the substitution from RewriteCond instead of from RewriteRule you use %1 instead of $1.
