.htaccess mod_rewrite rule to match the clean URL as well as additional custom parameters


This is a .htaccess file I found for my REST API that rewrites URLs in this manner: rest.php/a/b/c/... -> rest.php?url=a/b/c/...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ rest.php?url=$1 [L,NC,NE]

I've been trying to modify this code to allow for additional GET parameters as in the current form it just ignores them and PHP only sees the 'url'. How could this be done?

I want something like this: rest.php/a/b/c/...?filter=word -> rest.php?url=a/b/c/...&filter=word


Solution

  • You need the flag QSA (Query String Append)

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ output.php?url=$1 [QSA,NC,NE]
    

    Gives me for the url

    http://localhost/rest.php/a/b/c/?var2=val2
    

    the following GET parameters

    array(2) { ["url"]=> string(15) "rest.php/a/b/c/" ["var2"]=> string(4) "val2" }
