[users@httpd] Can I modify the page query string?
I've got a hosted Apache server without mod_rewrite and am editing an
.htaccess file.
I want to do something like this:
RedirectMatch ^/muon1/banner_(.*)\.jpg$
http://stephenbrooks.org/muon1/banner.php?user=$1
...so that filenames such as /muon1/banner_me.jpg are served by the script
/muon1/banner.php?user=me on stephenbrooks.org (my server).
However, the above rule escapes the question mark into a %3f, interpreting
the whole thing as the URL and the complaining a file with a question mark
in its name is not found! I played with:
SetEnv QUERY_STRING <something>
...and various conditional rules for a while, but haven't had much success.
In fact, I don't even seem to be able to set the query string in a way that
a PHP script will pick up. Does Apache even allow this? (Relatedly, does
this require mod_rewrite?)
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

--[Yes, you need mod_rewrite:]--
Thanks. Next step is then persuading my webhost to install it. :)

Yes, you need mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/muon1/banner_(.*)\.jpg$
http://stephenbrooks.org/muon1/banner.php?user=$1 [R]
