PHP - .htaccess and GET parameters

Question

I am trying to create a simple redirect to another page on login script.

Currently I am rewriting my URLS to the following format using .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^login$ ?i=l [L]
RewriteRule ^login([^/]*)$ ?i=l&=$1

The normal URL is therefore: domain.com/login - although I wish to be able to do the following: domain.com/login&redirect=/account/settings (Where the "redirect" will be the $_GET parameter that I'll be redirecting to after successful login)

My problem is if I access the above URL I get a 404 page not found. What am I doing wrong?

You confuse & and ? as it looks... An & cannot be part of the url itself. It would have to be "percent encoded". — arkascha

Shouldn't a ? separate the parameters from the path in the URL? — Dmitry Grigoryev

Try these rules:

RewriteRule ^login/?$ ?i=l [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^login(&[^/]+)/?$ ?i=l$1 [L,NC]

Though I suggest using:

domain.com/login?redirect=/account/settings

and get rid of 2nd rule altogether.

QSA flag in first rule will add redirect=/account/settings query parameter as $_GET to your php file.

I use a .htaccess. It's more functional and simple. I do not know if that's what you need but the handling is very simple.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?param=$1 [L,NC]

Url Example :

domain.com/login/account/settings

The treatment is in the script PHP

$param = $_GET['param'];
echo $param;

Return

login/account/settings

Or then

$param = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
// (PHP 5 >= 5.2.0)
// $param = filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'RESQUEST_URI');
$param = explode('/',$param);
print_r($param);

Return

Array( [0]=> [1]=>login [2]=>account [3]=>settings)

With this method it is possible to accomplish several goals.
