I am needing to pass 2 variables in a script I am writing. Does anyone
know how to do this?

I know how to pass 1; I have no idea how to write a rewrite rule to pass
the 2 as well.

Thanks,

Ron

That's an Apache question, Ron, but it's a matter of using
RewriteRule to parse $1 and $2 (and so forth).

What's the point of using '{0,}' instead '*' ?

I think I would have written something like this:

# http://www.domain.com/blog/1/2/
RewriteRule ^blog/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/ blog.php?getparam1=$1&getparam2=$2
[NC,QSA,L]

Well the thing is that with the {0,} more REQUEST_URIs are valid:
eg.
/blog
/blog/
/blog/17
/blog/17/
/blog/17/0
/blog/17/0/

AND additional characters get ignored (like when it is necessary to
reload content with javascript, due to caching issues)

/blog/17/0/ignored_string

Of course, your truely does what the OP asked for + it cuts of all
strings after the last /

Yeti,

I must be slow today - I still can't see the difference between

'{0,}' (= 0 or more instances of the previous)

and

'*' (= 0, 1 or more instances of the previous)

You are absoloodle right about that. Although I'm not sure about their
greediness, which might be different.
I prefer the '{0,}' in my rewrite rules because I usually define the
max-length to prevent code injection.

eg.

# to make sure only the first 8 chars get passed on to PHP
RewriteRule ^blog/([^/]{0,8} index.php?a=$1 [NC,QSA,L]

So that's why they ended up in my reply.
