.htaccess help needed

matt_k · Nov 12, 2010

I am trying to read all characters after .com/ and mod_rewrite them as a single variable that i can use php to $_GET['']. This is what I have so far.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?user=$1 [qsa]

This works great except it doesnt allow me to read '?' characters. I have a feeling that I need the htaccess file to read the entire url (or after .com/) and encode all characters so it is URL safe.

does anyone know how to do that with htaccess?

examples

with the above htaccess, if i goto
www.mydomain.com/testing/this/htaccess/

the $_GET['user'] will = 'testing/this/htaccess/'

however, if i goto this url
www.mydomain.com/testing/this/?htaccess/

the $_GET['user'] will = 'testing/this/'

is there a way i can have htaccess read all characters, or convert the ?'s to encoded_url chars?

I have a walk around that i can do with php while still using the same htaccess code listed the my first post.

Code:

[B]foreach ($_GET as $var => $value) {
$user .= $var;
$user .= '=' . $value;
}
$user = substr($user, 5);
echo $user; [/B]

It would be more convenient to have it all handled by htaccess.
