Subject: [users@httpd] mod_rewrite backreference not giving me what I want
X-Spam-Rating: minotaur-2.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N

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.

-TJ
