mod_rewrite regex help plz

[Kudose]

Bonjour.

I had a rewrite work, but discovered it doesn't take directories into account.

Could someone help me form a working rewrite regex?

Here is what I have:

RewriteRule ^(.*)[\x2F]?(\w)\.php[/]?(.*) $1/$2.php?vars=$3

It gives the dreaded "No input file specified" Apache error.

Here is my previous working regex that doesn't take directories into account:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php[/]?(.*) /$1.php?vars=$2

Any help would be great.

Merci.

Ok, so I have this script to do my testing, which works perfectly.

<?php
  $string = 'https://www.website.com/this/sub/dir/page.php/reset/this/var';

  $regex = '#(.*)[/](.*)\.php(.*)#';   

  $replace = '\\1/\\2.php?vars=\\3';

  $output = preg_replace($regex, $replace, $string);

  echo 'Orig: '.$string.'<br />';
  echo 'Output: '.$output;
?>

When I apply it to .htaccess as

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)[/](.*)\.php(.*)$ $1/$2.php?vars=$3

I get "No input file specified.", which is better than 500+404. This tells me that Apache is still kinda getting a 404 even after the rewrite.

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA.

Check log files. That sometimes gives me a clue as to what is going wrong. Also, if you know you want stuff between '/' characters, try using ([^/]+) rather than (.*) that way it knows that / marks the end of a chunk.

Thanks for your reply. There are no error logs generated and I do not have access to the access log on the server I am on.
