Mod rewrite problem

    I use the following rewrite to rewrite URLs like
    domain/example/
    to
    domain/index.php?a=example

    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /index.php/?a=$1
    Code (markup):
    works fine, except when there is an '&' in the url (eg "domain/bla%26more") (the & is correctly encoded to %26)
    in this case the variable a will only be bla, instead of blamore

    any ideas?

    is the &more a separate variable? Or are you just saying there could be an & in the word, like "example" and "dog&cat"?

    It's really strange that it would break at all on the &.

    actually there is no & at all in the url, just the encoded form of & (%26)
    eg /dog gets rewritten to /?a=dog
    /dog%26cat should get /?a=dog%26cat, but for some reason the variable a in php is then only dog.

    if i manually type in /?a=dog%26cat the variable a is correctly 'dog&cat'

    I've searched for info on this, and I don't see much on it, and I haven't run into this problem myself, so I'm not quite sure. I'll keep looking, and this post will bump it, so perhaps someone else knows.
