I'm going to try to jump on the mod_rewrite bandwagon. I am working on an application that uses index.php as a front controller and the querystring does the rest. All of the querystring tutourials I see force you to know how many paramters are coming in. In my case I don't know.
It could just be:

Thanks a ton for the help.

Yes and I did it but I don't remember where, I think it was inside a recent post.
I'm doing a search and I'll post here a link to it !
That's the link:

Now I'm thinking how to adapt to your needs and will post.
The correct rules can be found a #7.
Thank You,

Thank you so much for the help. I've been in rewrite for 2 days now so forgive me if I'm slow here.
I have it setup and logging on my win dev machine for now. I am getting a 500 error and here is the log from one request:
The C:/development/fame_php5/trunk is the docroot. The page I asked for was: http://fame5/index.php?action=test&something=5
I was imaginging this would get rewritten as http://fame5/test/something/5
I'm trying to figure out your rules. It seems you have two cases, a URL that is already in the rewritten form and one that needs to be rewritten? Any change you can explain them out a bit to help me out?127.0.0.1 - - [16/Aug/2005:08:37:39 -0400] [fame5/sid#6ea670][rid#792588/initial] (1) [per-dir c:/development/fame_php5/trunk/] internal redirect with /action/index.php [INTERNAL REDIRECT]

Yup, testing me too on my server.
There are some mistakes when the rules will work I will explain what they are doing

RewriteRule ^action/([^./]+)/?$ /index.php?action=$1 [QSA,L]
My mistake was not to exclude the . point from regex so [^/] was not right [^/.] is fine, doing that we are also sure that /images/image.gif won't be parsed too, same apply to css files.
Hope my comments are clear enough, do not hesitate to ask eventually !
The idea behind that was to remove each couple of /parX/valX from the URI and add them to the query string.
When there are no more couples of /parX/valX/ in the URI then we are ready to call index.php
Remember that
/action_name/parX
won't be parsed
/action_name/parX/valX/parY
won't be parsed
because they are incomplete URIs.
So am I basically creating URLS that if a user were to copy/paste would not work for them? Maybe I should go ahead and leave in the index.php then and just do index.php/action/parX/valX?Remember that
/action_name/parX
won't be parsed
/action_name/parX/valX/parY
won't be parsed
because they are incomplete URIs.
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you here.

if you type those URIs .htaccess's rules won't call index.php
and that's because
/action_name/parX
``cannot"" be translated to /index.php?action=action_name&parX=
and /action_name/parX/valX/parY
``cannot"" be translated to /index.php?action=action_name&parX=valX&parY=
are you going to use
/research/view/listall/start/10/end
and *not*
/research/view/listall/start/10/end/30
?
I'm not sure I'm following you.
No, each param will have a value. I'm just rethinking if I should do this since the urls the user sees will not be valid. I guess I should try to work a method that it will be valid so that if someone where to bookmark the file it would be ok.
The basic rules are that:
1) a page might be called without anything so just site.com/
2) a page might be called with an index.php?action=zzz and no paramaters
3) a page might be called with an index.php?action=zzz¶mx=valx where param & value are always in pairs and we don't know how many param/value pairs there are.
Can a rewrite force the url like:
www.site.com/index.php/action/paramx/valx and be a valid URL that you can still get the info out into php? I'm guessing I could parse the url for anything after *.php and get the action and param/value list from the url.

I didn't even know you could make loops in mod_rewrite, no idea it had that much power!
What if I had my parameters named 1, 2, 3, ..., n, n+1, ... and the url would be /value1/value2/value3/.../valuen/valuen+1/... and I wanted it to redirect to index.php?1=value1&2=value3&3=value3&...&n=valuen&n+1=valuen+1&... Is it possible to simply add the numbers into the loop somehow without them appearing in the request URL?
Ok, I took some time away and looked at this and it makes sense. I didn't realize that the URLS you are showing are missing the Value for the Parameter. Of course this is invalid and makes perfect sense now.Remember that
/action_name/parX
won't be parsed
/action_name/parX/valX/parY
won't be parsed
because they are incomplete URIs.
Now on my system with the URL I used to test before I get this error:
The requested URL /action/index.php was not found on this server.
URL = http://fame5/index.php?action=test&something=5
Result hoping for = http://fame5/test/something/5
I also tried http://fame5/ & http://fame5/index.php
Any ideas?
Thanks

The rules I wrote will work for all 3 cases you showed.

Another solution, and sincerely it seems to me the best one, is to move all URI to index.php and then from index.php parse the REQUEST_URI by using the explode function (don't remember the correct php function name).
So you just use this:
RewriteEngine On
# Any URI *not* containing a dot is redirect to index.php
RewriteRule ^[^.]$ /index.php [L]
then from index.php can be a gateway to your internal php scripts using query strings, for example.
but index.php, being a gateway, can handle even illegal URIs or not valid parameters by showing a page saying ``sorry, your article doesn't exist".
ok, didn't see post #12 now looking at it
http://fame5/test/something/5
should work (on my server http://127.0.0.1/test/something/5 is working)
I think you have to use this in your httpd.conf
RewriteLogLevel 9
it will fill you log, but it will give us more details
add it, and restart apache, try to browse again, and then post the log file
Ok, I think I am mistaken in part on how mod_rewrite works. I was thinking that if someone typed in http://fame/index.php?action=test the url would magically get transformed for the user into:
http://fame/test/
It seems that what it actually does is translate the simple URL into the complicated one, but not the other way around.
Sorry, still learning.
If I comment out the first two rules you wrote it works on my machine. when I run:
http://fame5/test/something/5
Maybe I'm missing the point of the first checks?
For thoroughness here is the log at level 9 asking for:
http://fame5/test/something/5
with all of the rules you submitted.

"Techies just think a little differently

Obviously that log is so long because there is a problem.
The problem can be see here:
RewriteCond: input='/index.php' pattern='!^/action/' => matched
127.0.0.1 - - [16/Aug/2005:18:20:27 -0400] [fame5/sid#6ea670][rid#798230/initial/redir#2] (2) [per-dir c:/development/fame_php5/trunk/] rewrite index.php -> /action/index
index.php should not be redirected to /action/index
in fact my rules at #7 (please verify them again in detail !)
you will find
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/action/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^./]+)(.*)$ /action/$1$2
^([^./]+)(.*)$
means
any URI *not* containing a dot.
I think you used some previously rules I wrote, and that I corrected at #7.
Check #7 again !
I am sorry, I was playing with the first rules when I found out that commenting them out helped. I reset the rules back to earlier. I have included a direct copy/paste below.
The current error when requesting http://fame5/test/something/5 is:
The requested URL /action/index.php was not found on this server.
I went through the log and still see /index.php to action/index.php
Here is a copy/paste of the .htaccessinternal redirect with /index.php [INTERNAL REDIRECT]

I just want to say again I really appreciate your help on this.<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

"Techies just think a little differently
...at least that is what they keep telling me."
Yup, my mistake I'm working on it.
The rules I tried on my server forced an external redirection because I don't have php installed.
I'm working on it (it's 1:am, though) right now to see why you have that error message.
Ok, I've been playing with this rule:
RewriteRule ^([^./]+)(.*)$ /action/$1$2
Coming in is index.php
index is being matched by ([^./]+) as $1
.php is being matched by ).*) and this index.php is getting assembled after /action.
What I can't see is what is supposed to be here. You stated the rule should match a uri without a dot. To do that I would use ^([^.]+)$
When I do that things work again. I don't see why you would need $1$2 though. It would seem just $1?

Again thanks.

Okay, found the bug:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/action/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^./]+)([^.]*)$ /action/$1$2
RewriteRule ^action/([^./]+)/([^./]+)/([^./]+)(.*)$ /action/$1$4?$2=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^action/([^./]+)/?$ /index.php?action=$1 [QSA,L]
I tested those and they worked on the same your condition.
p.s.
I had to edit the first RewriteRule !
In pratice /index.php?ETC
was mistankly redirected to /action/index.php?ETC
Sweetness!
Thanks, that's working out peachy here. I think this is going to make the app urls much much cleaner.

Whats the best way to do the above without the action part being hardcoded?
i.e. parse everything after index.php? and not just index.php?action=
I have written something a little similar last year.
This should let you use:
http://host.net/aa/bb/cc/dd
instead of:
http://host.net/index.php?aa=bb&cc=dd
Here is inefficient but flexible version.
This one can treat any number of parameters.
Trying to double the parameters treated in one round.Code:RewriteEngine on Options +Followsymlinks RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^/*index.php - [L] RewriteRule ^/*([^/]+)/+([^/]+)(.*)/*$ $3?$1=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ index.php?$1 [L,QSA]
Although the string parsing power of mod_rewrite is not that bad,Code:RewriteEngine on Options +Followsymlinks RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^/*index.php - [L] RewriteRule ^/*([^/]+)/+([^/]+)/+([^/]+)/+([^/]+)(.*)/*$ $5?$1=$2&$3=$4 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ index.php?$1 [L,QSA]
it should be much easier to do your own parsing in php
using $_SERVER{QUERY_STRING} or $_SERVER{REQUEST_URI} and other variables.
