I'm create plugin on OnPageNotFound event and check in url id of custom faq element.
That url: /faq/7548.html and need display page: /faq/?faq=7548
Without .htaccess, if use .htaccess some string: RewriteRule ^faq/([0-9]+)\.html$ faq/?faq=$1

$modx->sendForward($id); gets integer id of resource, how make sendForward to id of resource and with $_GET variable, as:
/faq/?faq=7548
having 7548 value?

It's a really? Thank you very much!

you need to set $_GET before sendForward
see for example:

Hi,

Seems like sendForward does not allow passing that kind of parameters.
I assume that's because you want to get that parameter and use it in a snippet.

If so, why not making use of a placeholder ?

$modx->setPlaceholder('faq', 'your-value');
$modx->sendForward($id);

and in your resource you would use your snippet to retrieve your faq item

[[!snippet? &faq=`[[!+faq]]`]]

Hope it makes sense

Edit : or what Bruno wrote, seems even better and would prevent some parsing ^^ Nice catch

Thank you!
It was very simple!
Plugin:

<?php

if ($modx->event->name == 'OnPageNotFound') {
    $uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    if(strpos($uri, 'faq/')){
        if(preg_match("#\/faq\/(\d+)\.html#i",$uri,$uriMatches)){
            $faqId = $uriMatches[1];
            $_GET['faq'] = $faqId;
            $modx->sendForward(258);
        }
    }
}

And in snippet in content on resource 258 $faqId available in $_GET['faq']!
