Need help with RewriteRule

[santa]

Hello,

I have a. .htacces file with the following rule:

RewriteRule ^([A-Z]{5})$ dir/myfile.inc.php?profile=$1 [L] 

What it does is checks the URL and if the link looks like:

http://domain.com/ABCDE it takes the last part of the URL and redirects to the dir/myfile.inc.php.

I need to modify RewriteRule to add additional parameters to it but make it work as it does now. For example,

http://domain.com/ABCDE/additional/parameter

Basically keep additional params for the sake of SEO but keep the functionality as is.

Not sure how to do this...

([A-Z]{5}) can become ([a-zA-Z0-9_-/]+), which would catch letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens, and slashes. Which would make $_GET['profile'] = 'ABCDE/additional/parameter' in your example and would need to be split() accordingly.

Or can do something like this:

^([A-Z]{5})/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)[\/]$ dir/myfile.inc.php?profile=$1&addition=$2&parameter=$3 [L]

Ah, great.

What if I only need the first value to be all CAPS, 5 chars in length and the rest of the parameters are there just for the sake of SEO. Do I need to do anything with the flags?

If you only need the first flag:

^([A-Z]{5})(.*)$ dir/myfile.inc.php?profile=$1&
