Hoping someone can help me with this problem. I'm trying to pass a variable with a RewriteRule in my .htaccess file using this technique:

RewriteRule foo bar [E=VAR:VAL]

I refer to the variable on the resulting page using:

<? php
echo $_SERVER["VAR"];
?>

and get no results. I've used phpinfo() and find that the variable doesn't show up.

I have also tried this:


echo $_ENV["VAR"];

and

$var = getenv('VAR');

with no luck.

This, however, does return a value:

echo $_SERVER["REDIRECT_URL"];

but this wasn't the solution I was looking for.

I'm using a hosting site w/ Apache/1.3.37 and PHP Version 4.4.4

Any ideas?
