Rewrite Issue or Issue with PHP?

[WebDevKev]

None of my (working on Apache) rewrites are being masked or allowing any POST data under Litespeed

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^search/ http://mydomain.com/search.php [L,QSA]

Using a simple HTML form,

If I POST (via action) to search/, the $_POST array is empty and the URL incorrectly shows in the address bar as search.php (not masked - but is showing that the rewrite is being used)

If I POST (via action) to search.php (direct with no rewrite), the $_POST array is correctly populated and the URL shows in the address bar as search.php

What am I missing?

Thanks!

please try
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^search/ search.php [L,QSA]

see if there is any difference

Thanks! Someone else suggested that and it did resolve it. I'm just confused as to why it doesnt work with the full URL.

Is LS's rewrite support just not 100% fully compatible with Apache's?

LiteSpeed rewrite is compatible most of the time with apache but it has some slightly different implementation in some cases.
