If i wanted to simply redirect /clients/page/ to /clients.php?view=page i would use something as simple as this, it works great.

Option         


        

Answer 1

I think you're looking for the [QSA] flag on the RewriteRule:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#RewriteRule

That should cause mod_rewrite to preserve your original query parameters.

RewriteRule ^clients/([^/]+) /clients.php?section=$1 [QSA,NC]

Answer 2

I think you can use the [QSA] flag, which stands for Query String Append. This means that you can add variables to the Query String easily:

RewriteRule ^clients/([^/]+) /clients.php?section=$1 [QSA, NC]
