How would I go about transforming this URL:
http://example.com/this/is/my/path.html
http://example.com/this/is/my/path.html?var=2&varr=3
to this:
http://example.com?path=this/is/my/path.html
http://example.com?path=this/is/my/path.html&var=2&varr=3
I've seen many tutorials on how to convert it to multiple get variables but none for the whole path that included the get variables as well.
See my edit below
Try this :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ?path=$1 [QSA]
The first part of the RewriteRule will capture the full path without the query string (GET parameters). The second part of the RewriteRule will rewrite with a GET parameter named "path" containing the full path we captured before. And then, using the [QSA] flag (which should be default behaviour of Apache), we tell Apache to keep the original GET parameters and append then to the new query string.
EDIT :
There is a major problem with this answer, a redirection loop. Here a better solution :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !path=
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ?path=$1 [QSA,L]
