.htaccess slash in name get variable issue

Question

Hi and sorry for bothering you, i try to look around but i couldn't find a solution, and i really can't figure out how and if it's possible to do something like that with rewriterule.

This is the portion of htaccess file interested in my problem:

RewriteRule ^pagename/([^/]+)-([^/]+) mypage.php?name=$1&id=$2 [NC,L]

example.com/mypage/dogarticle-800ad43

so my variable in php will be like

$_GET["name"]=dogarticle and $_GET["name"]=800ad43

so far so good, but if an article contain a slash i can't get the right variable anymore, example

example.com/mypage/animals/dogandcat-800ad44

where animals/dogandcat should be name i receive the following get vars:

$_GET["name"]=animals $_GET["name"]=dogandcat

Here the question what should i do to receive the following get var:

$_GET["name"]=animals/dogandcat $_GET["name"]=800ad44>

Cant really figure out the solution, probably not the best of my days.

Thanks

edit: in the name there can be a lot of slash example:

example.com/mypage/animals/dogandcat/squirrel/someotheranimal-800ad44

it looks like you need to clean up your url structuring out side of that you could urlencode your URL so that the / = %2F ie urlencode('animals/dogandcat'); that way you are selecting the right portion of the url — cmorrissey

You can use:

RewriteRule ^pagename/(.+)-([^/]+)$ mypage.php?name=$1&id=$2 [NC,L]
