: Rewrite up to three folders into three query string parameters to a PHP script I'd like to use mod_rewrite within the .htaccess file to rewrite folders to a var string. Below is examples of

You can use these three rewrite rules which handle up to 3 levels of directories:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^main/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? /parser.php?var1=&var2=&var3= [L]
RewriteRule ^main/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? /parser.php?var1=&var2= [L]
RewriteRule ^main/([^/]+)/? /parser.php?var1= [L]


In those regular expressions:


^main/: starts with "main/"
([^/]+): a bunch of characters that are not slashes (in a capturing group to be pulled out with , , or )
/? an optional ending slash
[L] the last rewrite rule (so that later rewrite rules don't also get triggered)


I usually prefer to pass all the folders as a single variable like so:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^main/(.*) /parser.php?folders=


then your PHP parser could split the folders on the slash to get the three variables you want.
