Simple regex problem - please help.

[jeddi]

Hi ,

My simple redirect is working EXCEPT if there is a period in the
string.

This is what I have:

PHP Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).example.net [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.net [NC]

RewriteRule ^.*$ http://example.net/disp_page.php?a=%1 [NC,QSA,L] 


So this works fine with :

potatoes.example.net

that goes to example.net/disp_page.php?a=potatoes

and the page displays

BUT if I have

recipes.potatoes.example.net

then it doesn't work

It should go to : example.net/disp_page.php?a=recipes.potatoes

Which would work fine.

Does any one know how I should adjust my code above ?

Thanks.
