How would one go about catching all that is in the address after the domain name and passing it to a PHP variable in a handling script?

Basically I want PHP to process the URLs, I just have trouble with the htaccess code to pass the address onto the GET variable.

So example:

http://www.example.com/test/me/1.html

Would go to:

http://www.example.com/handle.php?req=test/me/1.html

if all pages goes to test then it would probably be

Code:

RewriteRule (test)\/([a-z]+)\/([0-9]+)\.html handle.php?req=$1/$2/$3.html

here's a revision that will maybe work better? i'm not sure i just picked up htaccess last week

Code:

RewriteRule (test|another)\/([^/]+)\/([^/]|[0-9]+)\.html handle.php?req=$1/$2/$3.html

I haven't tested, but I think something like this might work...

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ handle\.php?req=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

If you have superuser access of any kind you should be making these adjustments in the httpd.conf file, wherever that may live (it depends on your installation).

I have checked numerous sites and all these changes are perfectly possible in the main configuration file, where they are safer, and better regulated (well, you don't leave a trail of security footprints all over the place, drawing attention to these areas for the benefit of those who seek easy western targets, looking on from South America and the Far East).

I bet our porn sites are better protected, in the west, than our banks - against unprofessionally handled server software... well the porn administrators have had a lot of experience. They were making money out of the web before anyone else was!

Yes they were, but the lot of 'em are terrible at what they do.

The numerous billing software exploits over the years (which I wont name), and the brute force attacks against member's areas- widely distributed by the hackers to the general public.

They are some of the most targeted, due to the fact that some of these sites have an unheard of # of CC's on record.
