At the advice of a friendly php-general reader, I tried the following:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /issues/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+)([/]?)$ $1/ [R]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]/[a-z]/[a-z0-9])([/]?)
/index.php?year=$1\&month=$2\&article=$3
And here's my /issues/index.php:
<?php
print_r($_GET);
?>
Requesting http://localhost/issues/2003/feb/issue/ gives a 404 file not
found (the logfile shows that it's looking for an un-rewritten URI).
Requesting http://localhost/issues/ displays "Array ( )" as expected.
Strangely, going to http://localhost/issues redirects me to the hostname
(which I have set to 'asdf', causing my browser to end up at
http://www.asdf.com).
I guess I should have said this earlier, but I'm testing on Win32/PHP
4.3.1/Apache 1.3.27, and have verified the problem on a FreeBSD platform as
well.
Anyway, thanks for any more pointers,
-Dan
