Apache mod_rewrite question

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to make a rule to return more than one variable for the rewrite.
http://www.devserver.local/product.AB1234.htm?Affiliate=maverick

This one works except nothing gets returned in $2

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Affiliate=(.*)
RewriteRule ^product\.(.*).htm http://miva.devserver.local/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=EFY&Product_Code=$1&Affiliate=$2 [R,L]

This doesn't work
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Affiliate=(.*)
RewriteRule ^product\.(.*).htm(\?.*) http://miva.devserver.local/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=EFY&Product_Code=$1&Affiliate=$2 [R,L]

Can someone explain what I've done wrong.

Regards
Maverick

The RewriteCond substitution is with %1 (and the . of .htm would prefer a \, while it is not mandatory)

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Affiliate=(.*)
RewriteRule ^product\.(.*)\.htm http://miva.devserver.local/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=EFY&Product_Code=$1&Affiliate=%1 [R,L]

What are you trying to do with the 2nd rule and \? ?

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Affiliate=(.*)
RewriteRule ^product\.(.*).htm(\?.*) http://miva.devserver.local/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=EFY&Product_Code=$1&Affiliate=%1 [R,L]

Hello

Grab the affiliate code(Affiliate=Maverick) so it can be passed to the shopping cart

Cheers!

Hello Mercantilum,

The both rules were supposed to do the same thing, i was just documenting the things I tried.

The rule you provided worked flawlessly.

Thanks again,
Maverick
