Literals in Mod_rewrite rules

Question

Hi,

I have a rule,

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/Strain/([^/]*)/([^/]*)-([^/]*)$ /strain.php?id=$3&strain=$4&source=$2&area=$1 [L]

However, having the "Strain" in there doesn't seem to work. What would be the correct syntax for a hard-coded directory name?

Thanks :) Any help is much appreciated

Answer 1

In the example you provide, there is no /Strain/ in the query, so it can't match. You may want to remove /Strain from the RewriteRule.
