Thanks for the quick response Igor.

Unfortunately I'm still getting stuck in a loop.

This code which has been handed to me is using both the .htaccess rule (shown below) and once it hits index.php (actually an include included from index.php) it's also calling a PHP function named rewrite().

Maybe I can do some cleanup later but for now I really just want to be able to run the site in my dev environment without having to install Apache...

If the nginx rewrite rules will do what the one Apache rewrite rule does, it really shouldn't matter what this following code does, I wouldn't think.

[code] /* rewrite url function */ rewrite(); if (isset($_GET['selectLanguage'])) { if ($_GET['module']) { $reloadURL = $_GET['module']; } foreach ($_GET as $id=>$val) { if ($id != 'selectLanguage' && $id != 'module') { $reloadURL .= "/$id/$val"; } } header('Location: '.WWW_ROOT.$reloadURL); } function rewrite(){

/** URL rewriting action **/ global $_module; if(isset($_GET['demand']) && $_GET['demand']!="") {

$_action_vars = explode('/', $_GET['demand']);

$_module = $_GET['module'] = trim($_action_vars[0]);

if(count($_action_vars) > 1) { for ($i = 1; $i < count($_action_vars); $i += 2) { if($_action_vars[$i] != ''){ if (isset($_action_vars[$i+1])) {

$_GET[trim($_action_vars[$i])] = trim($_action_vars[$i+1]); } else {

$_GET[trim($_action_vars[$i])] = ''; } } } } } else { // Setting default values for null request $_module = $_GET['module'] = 'index'; } unset($_GET['demand']);

foreach($_GET as $key => $val){ if($key == '' || $key == null) unset($_GET[$key]); }

/** End of URL rewriting action **/ } [/code]
