Im trying to add a rewrite rule to my htcaccess file and the part Im having trouble wth is the query string. I want to add the query string parameter pid to the rewrite rule. Both lines of code don't work how do set up query string for you're rewrite rules.

RewriteRule browse/(.*)/?pid=(/d+) show_products.php?department=$1&pid=$2 RewriteRule browse/(.*)/?pid=([0-9]+) show_products.php?department=$1&pid=$2

should look like

http://mysite.com/browse/department?pid=1

or

http://mysite.com/browse/department/?pid=1

i've got it to do this but it has no question mark does anyone know how to get it to have the question mark

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$ RewriteRule browse/(.*)/pid=([0-9]+)$ show_products.php?department=$1&pid=$2 http://mysite.com/browse/department/pid=1

  • Your edit isn't very clear. If you're trying to say that something didn't work, provide an example of what didn't. (hint: question marks in a regex need to be escaped) Commented Apr 6, 2013 at 4:24

RewriteRules do not directly match query strings. You need to use something like 

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pid=([0-9]+) RewriteRule browse/(.*)/ show_products.php?department=$1&pid=%1

Not tested but that should be close.
