mod_rewrite and regular expressions

[tjoerg]

Hello,

I'm having hard times to figure out how to get a right expression for mod_rewrite:

this is my line:
RewriteRule ^category-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]\+[0-9]).html$ /browse.php?pg_which=$1&cat=$2&order=$3

The first and second variable are ok. But I can't get the third one.

My query is as following:
http://mywebsite.de/category-2-52-bid+desc.html

How do I get the "bid+desc" with regular expressions for mod_rewrite ?

Hope someone can help

check out this thread. it should give you most of what you need.

here are some hints
your htaccess should look like this i believe

RewriteRule ^category-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([a-z]*)+([a-z]*).html$ /browse.php?pg_which=$1&cat=$2&sort_by=$3&sort_orde r=$4

youll have to change some things in browse.php and in pagination.class.php also.

i hope this gets you on the right track. good luck!

Hello scheetz,

it's finally working !

The following line does it's job:
RewriteRule ^category-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([a-z](.*)[a-z]).html$ /browse.php?pg_which=$1&cat=$2&sort=$3

I also just had the wrong variable name means order instead of sort!

thanks anyway

Yo,

just got one more problem!

If you modify pagination.class all sites with pagination will be affected! It's not worth to rewrite all the code to get the pagination for category view! How did you solve this problem?

Could you post me your pagination class here. I actually think you forgot to post it at your previous thread!

for everyone who is interrested in:

I simply did a second pagination class pagination_browse.class
and included this from application_browse.php in browse.php.

This might be not the best way to solve this problem - but it works!
