# Call php code with Query String

 * Greetings,
 * I have a wordpress page that contains custom php code.
    Let’s say the page name
   is called myphpcode. I have a url that looks like: [http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode/var1-var2-var3](http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode/var1-var2-var3)
   The var1-var2-var3 is meant to be a hyphen delimited parameter list that the 
   myphpcode program will parse as a query string. This is supposed to be SEO friendly
   URL – so each var# parameter is meant to be a signifcant keyword for the search
   engines.
 * The wordpress site is using a permalinks setting: /%postname%/
    Thus the other
   links for posts look like: [http://www.mysite.com/category/my-first-topic](http://www.mysite.com/category/my-first-topic)
   [http://www.mysite.com/category/my-second-topic](http://www.mysite.com/category/my-second-topic)
   [http://www.mysite.com/top-ten-holiday-gift-ideas](http://www.mysite.com/top-ten-holiday-gift-ideas)
 * So, in this example, I am assuming
    my-first-topic and top-ten-holiday-gift-ideas
   function like an html file.
 * When I call [http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode](http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode)
   
   the code runs OK and a default page is displayed since it has not yet received
   any query string values.
 * When I call [http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode/var1-var2-var3](http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode/var1-var2-var3)
   
   wordpress says The page you requested could not be found.
 * I am using the following .htaccess
 * RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^myphpcode/(.*)
   $ [http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode?parm1=$1](http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode?parm1=$1)[
   QSA,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
 * I was hoping the RewriteRule with the myphpcode reference
    would execute the 
   myphpcode and pass the var1-var2-var3 as a query string into parm1. I am guessing
   that it sees the myphpcode as a wordpress category instead of a wordpress page
   with php code and that it sees the var1-var2-var3 as html code which of course
   it is not.
 * To summarize: Is it possible to have a wordpress URL that does not have a conventional
   query string – [http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode?parm1=var1&parm2=var2](http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode?parm1=var1&parm2=var2)
   but rather one that looks like
    [http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode/var1-var2-var3](http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode/var1-var2-var3)
 * It must be SEO friendly with this convention but also be recognized by wordpress
   as a wordpress page(the myphpcode part) and pass the var1-var2-var3 part to the
   php program as a query string?
 * Since I am relatively new to wordpress I am in need of some
    more experienced
   eyes.
 * Thank You.
