php - Why does my rewrite rule disables additional $_GET data?

Question

I'm using this rewrite rule for my whole domain:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9/-]+)$ /index.php?path=$1

So for example, my urls look like this:

http://www.example.com/page/subpage/4/anything/

The problem is when I want to manually add a specific $_GET, like this:

http://www.example.com/page/subpage/4/anything/?also=admin

I remember this has worked on some sites I've been developing, but it doesn't work here.

How can I fix my RewriteRule so that I can add $_GET data like this?

Answer 1

Use Query String Append (QSA):

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9/-]+)$ /index.php?path=$1 [QSA]

Answer 2

Add as second rule that looks for URLs with ? in them:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9/-]+)\?(.*) /index.php?path=$1&$2
