.htaccess complex mod_rewrite rule, language in URL

Question

I would like to write a rule, that would redirect URL like this:

myweb.com/en/page

to

myweb.com/page.php?lang=en

And URL like this

myweb.com/en/page/SOME_TEXT(EVEN WITH SLASHES)

to

myweb.com/page.php?lang=en&string=SOME_TEXT

This code:

RewriteRule ^(cz|en)/(.*)$  $2?lang=$1 [QSA,L]

works for the language but not for the another text (SOME_TEXT).

What should I change? Thanks everyone.

Answer 1

Try the following:

RewriteRule ^/(cz|en)/(.*)$  $2.php?lang=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/(cz|en)/([^/]+)/(.*)$  $2.php?lang=$1&string=$3 [L]

Answer 2

You can use the following :

RewriteRule ^/?(cz|en)/([^/]+)/?(.*)$  $2.php?lang=$1&string=$3 [QSA,L]

?: is used to disable the capture group, so $1 now Contains the value of your second capture group.
