There's an excellent book about regular expressions from O'Reilly. Spend a
weekend with it, really.
*sigh*. Do we really need the condescending tone? Especially since
your example doesn't work either Mr. Expert.
This is not a simple problem. I've tried hundreds of different
patterns, read dozens of different web pages, and yes, I've read
Mastering Regular Expressions.
RewriteEngine on
# this rule will match all url's starting with index.php,
# including /index.php?foo=bar but also /index.phpxxx
RewriteRule /index.php(.*)$ /index.php$1 [L]
# if that rule isn't matched, the follwing rule will ut anything as id=
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?id=$1 [L]
Would that help !?
No, it doesn't, because it doesn't match the url:
http://mydomain/?id=abc123
As far as I can tell, mod_rewrite doesn't work the way you think it
does. The default document gets interpreted AFTER mod_rewrite
processes the URL. I could be wrong about that, but that's what it
seems to be doing.
There seems to be some cryptic interaction between mod_rewrite and
apache in terms of what order it processes things.
