Hello there,

is there a way to do dynamic rewriting something like this:

[http://localhost/param1/param2/param3/key4/value4/key5/value5/key6/value6](http://localhost/param1/param2/param3/key4/value4/key5/value5/key6/value6)  
and so on.

key value pairs can differ in wording and count.

i want to rewrite this to something like  
index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2&p3=$3&(loop)$4=$5 …

Thx.

yes, it’s called “parse in php”

make it pass p=param1/param2/param3/…  
the split by ‘/’ and assign each of them to correct variable
