[RESOLVED] Help with mod rewrite and $_GET

[AdRock]

I have been making a simple image gallery but have come across a problem displaying the enlarged image

When i click on a thumbnail (gallery.php)I am directed to a page called image.php where the chosen image is supposed to enlarge but it displays nothing and I am convinced it is to do with the $_GET['id']

If i use an unwritten url such as index.php?page=image&id=1 it will display but if i use a reritten url such as image/1 it doesn't display. I am sure it can't $_GET the id from the address bar becuase it doesn't know what id is. All there is, is a number which is the id of the image.

Here is the code for the image gallery

<?php
define ("NUMCOLS",5);

include_once("includes/connection.php");

$res = mysql_query("SELECT id,thumb FROM images");

$count = 0;
echo "<TABLE border=0 id='gallery'>";
while (list($id,$thumb) = mysql_fetch_row($res)) {

if ($count % NUMCOLS == 0) echo "<TR>\n";  # new row

echo "<TD><a href='/image/$id'><img src='/gallery/$thumb' style='border:none'></a></TD>\n";
$count++;

if ($count % NUMCOLS == 0) echo "</TR>\n";  # end row
}

# end row if not already ended

if ($count % NUMCOLS != 0) {
   while ($count++ % NUMCOLS) echo "<td>&nbsp;</td>";
   echo "</TR>\n";
}
echo "</TABLE>";
?>

Here is the code which is supoposed to display the enlarged image

<?php

include_once("includes/connection.php");

$id = $_GET['id'];


$query = "SELECT * FROM images WHERE id = '$id'";    

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { 

echo "<img src='/gallery/".$row['image']."'>";
}

?>

and here is the mod rewrite but i don't think that makes any difference

 Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1&pagenum=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^admin/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ admin/index.php?page=$1 [L]

I believe the culprit is your mod rewrite.

Which one of your RewriteRules handles image/1?

I only see image/1/ or image/ or {anything}/ or {anything}/{#}/.

What I am referring to here is the / at the end. Also, these two Rules are the same so the first one will always be used and not the second but the 2nd is the one you have an issue not getting to:

RewriteRule ^{([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$} index.php?page=$1&pagenum=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^{([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$} index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [L]

^{([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$} index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [L]

I put that rule on for the image url which would be image/1

this rule is for the pages which contain pagaination becuase i originally used index.php?page=news& pagenum=1

How would i write a rule for this index.php?page=image&id=1?

[AdRock]

RewriteRule ^{([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$} index.php?page=$1&pagenum=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^{([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$} index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [L]

These 2 rewrite rules are conflicting with each other. The first rule will always work even if i switch them and the second rule won't

How do i get both rules to work?

You need to use different patterns; how is the server supposed to know which one to use? What distinguishes a URL that needs to be written with a pagenum and one that needs to be written with an id? Once you've figured that out you'll be able to make the patterns distinct.
