Passing Variables from PHP to .htaccess

    Hello,

    I have a quick question. How can I pass a variable from my PHP script to my htaccess?

    For example, I have a variable called $testVar. I've set $testVar = "Content". How can I use a mod_rewrite rule to do something like this? I've seen this everywhere, and I've gotten it working, but I need something more.

    "Instead of page.php?id=4, put page/4.htm"

    Instead of page/4.htm, I want to make it page/$testVar.htm, or page/Content.htm.

    Is that possible? And how? Thanks :)

    I think you mean from your htaccess to php. If so, you would use mod rewrite. For example, this rule takes a condition of a user going to a certain domain and then passing it as a variable

    RewriteCond %{HOST} <somedomain>
    RewriteRule ^(.*) http://myhost/bin/index.php?domain=$1 [P,L]

    Simple answer, no.

    By the time PHP knows about the request, the mod_rewrite fules in htaccess have already been processed.
    You'll have to forget about mod_rewrite/htaccess and use the "header()" function in PHP to send a "Location" header in addition to a 301/302 HTTP status code.
