RewriteRule ^oldpage.php(.+) newpage.php$1&otherid=0 [R]
-------------------------------------------------

The $1 should have all the variable stuff in it from the php.
So I'm looking for it to essentially do this:
oldpage.php?id=1 redirects to newpage.php?id=1&otherid=0
Why is this not working? Any help would be appreciated.

Because the RewriteRule directive doesn't parse anything beyond the path portion of the requested URL. If you want to capture the query string, you have to use a RewriteCond statement to store the query string in a regex back-reference. You can then make use of the RewriteCond's back-references in a succeeding RewriteRule statement. There's actually a shortcut for doing this (check the QSA flag in the mod_rewrite docs), but you need to modify the query string in the rewritten URL, so you can't use that.

Give this a try:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule ^oldpage.php newpage.php?otherid=0&%1 [R]
