URL Rewriting and GET values

Question

I know there are lots of answer about this, but I can't understand why it does not work for me.

I want every URL like :

http://mywebsite.com/campagne/blabla

to be redirected to

http://mywebsite.com/campagne.php?c=blabla

Here is my .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule campagne/(.+)$  campagne.php?c=$1 [QSA,L]   [L]

The URL is redirected to campagne.php but $_GET['c'] is not sent.

Can you help me? I cannot find what is wrong? It works on my local server but not online.

Answer 1

This is due to enabling of MultiViews option in your Apache. Place this line on top of your .htaccess to turn it off:

Options -MultiViews

Option MultiViews is used by Apache's content negotiation module that runs before mod_rewrite and makes Apache server match extensions of files. So /file can be in URL but it will serve /file.php .
