[users@httpd] mod_rewrite backreference not giving me what I want
Hello list,
I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm trying to use .htaccess to
implement some mod_rewrite rules. Here's what I have:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /test/cb
RewriteRule ^test\.htm$ index.php?t=a$0 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.(php|html?)$ index.php?t=b$0 [L]
in index.php, I have:
<?php
echo $t;
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_SERVER);
echo "</pre>";
?>
for pretty much every URL I send to this directory, I always get the
second RewriteRule.
The .htaccess is currently sitting at http://www.mydomain.com/test/cb,
as is the index.php file.
My question is: why is the $0 backreference matching the page that the
path gets rewritten to, instead of the matched regexp string from the
path submitted to the server?
Thanks in advance for any answers and time given to my question.

It came through; that tag is automatically inserted by the list software.
About your problem, I am (and likely others are) not sure about the
behaviour you want of your rewrite rules. Trying to figure out someone
else's regexps, especially when they are claimed not to work, is not easy
business; at least it is too time consuming for most to even bother.
Please do a thourough explaination with examples of URIs you want rewritten
and to what.
Regards,
Robert Andersson

I apologize for reposting this to the mailing list, but I fear that I
may have slipped through a bunch of mail filters since I didn't put
[users@httpd] in front of my message.
Thanks again for your time.
