Help with htaccess regex

Question

Regular Expressions

I want to redirect from an address like:
site.com/play/?t=title&l=link to site.com/title.html

I write:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^play/\?t=([a-z0-9-_]+)&l=[a-z0-9-_.:/]+$ $1.html [R]

But doesn't work :(

Answer 1

use RewriteCond and %{QUERY_STRING}

Answer 2

So just write a PHP script, your parameters are not contained in the path, but after the '?' sign.
index.php

<?php
$t=$_GET['t'];
$l=$_GET['l'];

include $t.".html";
?>

Usually mod_rewrite is used to convert a URL like site.com/title.html to site.com/play/?t=title&l=link , not the other way around.
As you've been told, you can indeed use %{QUERY_STRING} to pass script parameters, but I think that's pretty pointless.
ps Should be [a-z0-9_-]+ not [a-z0-9-_]+
