How to use question marks as a normal char in regular expression

Question

I'm working with apache mod_rewrite that suppots perl regex. How can I use question mark as a normal char? for example:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/.*/service/City?name)=(.*)-(.*)$

mod_rewrite uses PCRE, so `\?`. – Marc B Apr 06 '15 at 15:37 — Marc B, Apr 06 '15 at 15:37

You don't match query string using RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}. You will need to use QUERY_STRING variable for that. So correct way will be this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^name=(.*)-(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/.*/service/City)$

you can also have a look here :

since you are working with mod_rewrite you might want to hide your ? completely. The post above will explain how to do that.
