mod rewrite with query string

curiousfish

hi,

i do a mod rewrite with the following.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)$
RewriteRule ^$ directory/file.php?id=%1

I wanted to make it to rewrite
www.domain.com/?123
-> www.domain.com/directory/file.php?id=123

it actually works.
but if i just type in www.domain.com it will goes to www.domain.com/directory/file.php

how can i make it that www.domain.com still pointing to www.domain.com or www.domain.com/index.php

I have ask this question in many forums, but it seems no one knows...

Please kindly advise.

thanks

I'm not a rewriterule expert, but I've used this:

RewriteRule ^{([0-9]+)(/?)$} script.php?Variable=$1

which turns something like this: www.website.com/123

into: script.php?Variable=123

Question is how bad do you need to have that '?' in there. If you need it, I'm sure it can be tossed in there. Note, the rewriterule I have above doesn't have any RewriteCond specified before it.

Hi AstroTeg,

Thanks for providing some hint.
i know how to do this.

www.domain.com/123
-> www.domain.com/directory/file.php?id=123

yes, it doesnt require any rewritecond for this.
And it wont work if there is a ? in there because if there is a ?, there need to have a rewritecond for the query_string.

The reason i need to have the question mark is because i want the shortcut directly after the domain. if i were to use this method

www.domain.com/123
-> www.domain.com/directory/file.php?id=123

it will conflict with some of my current directories eg. www.domain.com/images if there is a www.domain.com/directory/file.php?id=images

So i need the question mark.

And i tried to google, searching something with ? is really hard, as many irrelevant results are return.

Posted in many programming, webmaster forums... it seems no one knows how to do what i wanted. Or perhaps, this mod rewrite is too simple for them that no one bothers to teach.

🙁

Jus solve my problem.

the correct RewriteCond will be

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)$
