Re: Using mod_rewrite and PHP

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.
