Hi
I am looking for some advice on how to do exact matching for mod_rewrite, I
have the 2 rules in my config:
Rule1
====
RewriteRule ^/nokian95 /phones.php?id=555 [PT,QSA,NS,NE]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)phones\.php(.*)$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id\=555$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /nokian95? [R=301,L]
and
Rule2
====
RewriteRule ^/nokian95plum /phones.php?id=588 [PT,QSA,NS,NE]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)phones\.php(.*)$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id\=588$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /nokian95plum? [R=301,L]
Now as the Rule1 is first in the config file then any URL string that
contains /nokian95 will result in /phones.php?id=555 being called, Rule2
will never be matched because Rule1 will match first.
I want to be able to specify that a match is only valid when the text to be
matched is *exactly* the text in the rewriterule and not just a fragmement
match.
Can anyone help me with a pointer?
Thanks
M
