mod_rewrite problem

[ijs]

Hello, I want to make redirect from this page http://domain.com/search/?test=blablabla to http://domain.com/search/blablabla/
I can't do this, thats my RewriteRule:

RewriteRule ^search/\?test=(.+)$ search/$1/ [R] 

but it doesn't work. I can't find a mistake, help me please.

Just some brainstorming here...

are you trying to actually redirect to the different location (i.e. do you actually have the search/blablabla/ folder - probably not ) , or to simply rewrite the url string?


"it does not work" meaning you still see the http://domain.com/search/?test=blablabla in the url bar and page content resolves properly, or is there an error message of any sort?

Do you have your RewriteEngine turned on?

RewriteEngine on

in you .htaccess file?

Does your host allow mod_rewrite?

If yes (and given that there are no file extensions in your sample - if it mimics your actual links - , then probably yes it is), is it the only rewrite pattern that does not rewrite properly?

I hope I didn't make mistakes here, but I think that's what you need:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^search/([^/\.]+)/?$ search/?test=$1 [L]

Thanks for reply.
I'm trying to rewrite url string.
I'm still see the http://domain.com/search/?test=blablabla in the url bar and page content resolves properly.
Yes, RewriteEngine turned on.
Yes, my host allow mod_rewrite.
That's only one pattern that doesn't work.
no, that is not what i'm looking for

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^search/([^/\.]+)/?$ search/?test=$1 [L] 

that pattern provides that url http://domain.com/search/blablabla/ will actually work as that url http://domain.com/search/?test=blablabla and i need a page redirect (reload) on from this url http://domain.com/search/?test=blablabla to that url http://domain.com/search/blablabla/

Can you please provide more detail on purpose of this redirect - on what is it you are actually trying to do, in terms of functionality? Are you using a SEARCH FORM to POST the date and then GETTING the value of $_POST['test'], and redirecting to the url that would be derived by this method (which is - or is it not - an actual directory)? Or are you doing something else entirely?

in a meanwhile, here are some great resources:

Apache mod_rewrite: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current...d_rewrite.html

I have a form mm like this

<form action="" method="get">
    <input type="search" name="search">
    </form> 

after we use this form, to our url will add string like ?search=something
but i don't like url index.php?search=something
i want see this url index/something
i think the problem with "?" symbol, in mod_rewrite,

RewriteRule ^index.php?search=(.+)$ index/$1/ [R]

Don't take my word for it, but I am not sure that you can do what you want to do via form with get method... Perhaps someone else would be able to answer that better. Sorry! If I come across (an alternative) solution in the meanwhile, I would let you know.
