Apache mod_rewrite question - Round 2

Hi Everyone.

I have a URL like the following;
http://devserver.local/signuperror.htm?name=Maverick&msg=1
http://devserver.local/signuperror.htm?email=maverick%40devserver.local&msg=2

I need to rewrite it into the following form.
http://devserver.local/page.php?p=signuperror&name=Maverick&msg=1
http://devserver.local/page.php?p=signuperror&email=maverick%40devserver.local&msg=2

You can assume there will only ever be two terms on the input.

Cheers!

Hi Everyone,

I used the following rule which half works - i still can't pass the msg part of the query string.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} name=(.*)
RewriteRule ^signuperror.htm /page.php?p=signuperror&name=%1&msg=1 [P,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} email=(.*)
RewriteRule ^signuperror.htm /page.php?p=signuperror&email=%1&msg=2 [P,L]

Cheers!

Maverick,

I am not an expert in mod_rewrite, but the "%1" looks strange... isn't it suppose to be $1 ?

Hi Samri,

Apparently not - $1 refers to terms in the URL not the query string.

Here is the 'round 1' question

I've been having unrelated issues on my development server & time contraints that prevented me from fully evaluating ahoffman's solution. I believe it was basically correct, there was just some further issues that prevented me from fully perfecting the rewrite rules required (& why i didn't originally accept the answer)

I decided to give ahoffam the points and close the question.
