Mod_rewrite .php?= problems???

Hey there again

This is my code here for rewriting a simple php?= url

PHP Code:


		
			
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?domain.com/wallpapers/(.*)/download/(.*)$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^wallpapers/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/$ /wallpapers/$1/$2.php?number=$3 [NC]

I was wondering why when i go here:

http://domain.com/wallpapers/$id/$name/2/

It returns a 404 error and shows this in the error log files

File does not exist: /home/gears/public_html/wallpapers/50/ice-prince/2.php

When it should be using this:

/home/gears/public_html/wallpapers/50/ice-prince.php

Thanks heaps in advance

If you go to /wallpapers/$id/$name/2/ directly then the referrer will not be /wallpapers/$foo/download/$bar, which is a condition of the rewrite, so the rewrite fails. You have to either add a RewriteCond that allows the referrer to be empty, or remove it altogether.

Toxinhead agrees: Thanks anyway

Hey can you please explain a little more? im really stuck

i took this line out and now it gives me a 404 error

PHP Code:


		
			
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?animewallz.com/wallpapers/(.*)/download/(.*)$ [NC]

and it shows this in the error log:

Fri Apr 25 19:14:28 2008] [error] [client 121.72.75.203] File does not exist: /home/gears/public_html/wallpapers/$id/$name/2.php

When it should be converting this

/home/gears/public_html/wallpapers/$id/$name.php?id=2

in to this pretty url

/home/gears/public_html/wallpapers/$id/$name/2

You can make this one rule by using /?$ instead of /$.
