I am changing my development structure to have rewrite urls for fuse/action
and I thought it's cool if I represent all URLs like google (http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a)
so http://mysite.com?index.php?action=search&q=vikrant should look like http://mysite.com/search?q=vikrant
for this purpose I have first tried a simple rule to match anything after "/".
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?action=$1 [L]
but when I print GET variables then it s only giving me the part before "?" (that was strange)
Then after googling a bit I just got the hint that Mod Rewrite do not matches string after "?"
because it's treating it as %{QUERYSTRING}, hence I have created following rule to achieve the result which is running perfect for me
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?([^/][^\./]*)[:;,\.]*$ index.php?action=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
