Hi Eric,
Changing to .+ seems to work fine. I have only one issue left. The issue
is a server error when only one argument is passed. Here is what I have
that works when more than one argument is passed:
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)$
/index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3&item=$4&action=$5 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)$
/index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3&item=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/(.+)$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2 [L]
I thought that, by creating one last rule at the bottom of my list,
mod_rewrite would catch all instances of when only one argument is passed:
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?section=$1 [L]
Adding this final rule breaks everything, resulting in ye olde 'endless
loop' error for all requests.
I found the following rule as a solution at
http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?t=3925 but I still get
the same problem, though the documentation I found said it should work:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?section=$1 [L]
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Kris

Hi Dragon,
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/?$
/index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3&item=$4&action=$5 [L]
Parsing http://domain.com/section/page/mode/item/action/
Results:
_REQUEST[section] = "section/page"
_REQUEST[page] = "mode"
_REQUEST[item] = "action"
_REQUEST[action] = empty
All the asterisks are greedy, and the one you expect to be 'action'
doesn't have anything left to match but the forward slash but the 0
characters after the slash following "action". Try making the
previous expressions non greedy, and maybe use + instead of *
