I can happily skin the output of php scripts using redirect-to, the

Unfortunately, some of the php scripts I want to use like this take
query parts in the URL to set parameters. I can't see how to get hold
of those in a matcher or selector. I can catch
"this/that/theother.php" and skin it, but how do I get hold of the
parameter from "this/that/theother.php?var=42" to feed that to the
FileGenerator?
Thank you for the quick and informative replies. I think they can be
summed up as simple redirection is not possible because the query parts
get disassembled. I would need to re-build a new URL if the original has
an unknown list of parameters. The mechanisms work on known parameters.
Thanks.

I think that's a hasty summation;) Take a look:
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/InputModules
Look for "RequestModule (JXPath)", specifically, the queryString
property. It'll let you pass it along in full: {request:queryString}
That is what I was looking for!
Sorry if my question was not sufficiently clear. With Tim's call I now
have a general plugin which will let me skin the output of php scripts
but, should those scripts themselves produce links to scripts with query
strings, then the subsequent "parameterised call" is also skinned. My
application is a set of prototype database interface scripts which is
becoming unwieldy to manage as a set. Forrest will allow me to quickly
provide a navigation front end which, conveniently, can be part of a
pre-existing project site generated by Forrest.

p.s. Well, I will have such a plugin when I have done the fleshing out.
