Hello,

Im having some issues with rewrite rules, possibly someone has some suggestions:

RewriteRule ^gps/(.*)/$ gps/index.php?category=$1

that is my rewrite rule, and it works great if I do:

http://www.transeca.com/gps/category/

but I want to go one level deeper:

http://www.transeca.com/gps/category/product/

so I change the rewrite rule to:

RewriteRule ^gps/(.*)/(.*)/$ gps/index.php?category=$1&product=$2

now I can goto:

http://www.transeca.com/gps/category/product/

but I can no longer goto just:

http://www.transeca.com/gps/category/

I get:
Not Found

The requested URL /gps/category/ was not found on this server.


Anyone know how to over come this hurdle? Do I need to use some kind of conditional statement, or 2 separate rules?

this was solved by adding an additional rule:

RewriteRule ^gps/(.*)/$ gps/index.php?category=$1
RewriteRule ^gps/(.*)/(.*)/$ gps/index.php?category=$1&product=$2

However, now when I goto:

http://www.transeca.com/gps/category/product/

category ($1) is showing as index.php
product ($2) shows correctly as product (or whatever was n the URL)

any ideas?

ahh-

that was fixed by changing the rule to:

RewriteRule ^gps/(.*)/$(.*)/$ gps/index.php?category=$1&product=$2

i guess im finished ranting now
