[clug-talk] mod_rewrite question...

[Nick Wiltshire]

Hi all,

I posted this to the progsig list but didn't get an answer, hopefully someone 
here will know. It seems like it should be easy, but there's obviously 
something I don't know/understand.

What I'm trying to do is use mod_rewrite to grab a certain part of the end of 
a url and turn it into a $_GET in PHP. Something like:

http://www.example.com/some/thing/
becomes
http://www.example.com/?var=some/thing

Now, I suspect the slashes may be part of the issue, but I'm not sure.

I've tried various rules and either end up in an infinite loop or get 500 
internal server error.

Any ideas?

Nick
