URL Rewrite issue

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

Im created a series of Rewrites and on page checks to make sure the correct url is being called. But now that i am buying in traffic through Adwords the gclid parameter is being dropped and im unable to measure conversions...im not sure if its the php or the rewrite rule at fault...the rewrite rule im assuming. Im not sure if the ? is saying keep parameters or not.

Code: # page rewrite rule example http://www.mydomain.co.uk/location/1/name/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^location/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? location-view.php?loc=$1&n=$2 [L,NC]

and on the page in question "location-view.php" i have the following:

Code: if (isset($_GET['gclid'])){

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] != "/location/".$row_getlocation['location_id']."/".$row_getlocation['location_seo_name']."/?gclid=".$_GET['gclid']) {

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: /location/".$row_getlocation['location_id']."/".$row_getlocation['location_seo_name']."/?gclid=".$_GET['gclid']);
exit;
}

}else if (!isset($_GET['gclid'])) {
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] != "/location/".$row_getlocation['location_id']."/".$row_getlocation['location_seo_name']."/") {

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: /location/".$row_getlocation['location_id']."/".$row_getlocation['location_seo_name']."/");
exit;
}

}

thanks
