copied!<p>Are you trying to do something like this?</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? /index.php?site=$1&category=$2 [L] </code></pre> <p>This will make it so when you go to <a href="http://domain.com/food/beef" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/food/beef</a> the request gets rewritten to "/index.php?site=food&category=beef" internally and index.php is used to serve the original request. The browser's location bar will still say "http://domain.com/food/beef". </p> <p>If you want the location bar to say <a href="http://domain.com/index.php?site=food&category=beef" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/index.php?site=food&category=beef</a> then add an "R," to the "[L]". If this is backwards and you want it so when someone enters <a href="http://domain.com/index.php?site=food&category=beef" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/index.php?site=food&category=beef</a> in the location bar, and the request gets rewritten to "/food/beef" internally on the server, then you need to parse out the query string using RewriteCond:</p> <pre><code>RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^site=([^&]+)&category=([^&]+) RewriteRule ^index.php /%1/%2? [L] </code></pre> <p>The same thing applies with the "R" causing a browser redirect like the first example. If you want the location bar to change to <a href="http://domain.com/food/beef" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/food/beef</a> then the brackets should look like: <code>[L,R]</code>. Note that you need a <strong>?</strong> at the end of the target in the rule, so that query strings don't get thrown in. That is why in your google example, the query string is being appended. </p> <p>EDIT:</p> <h2>Seeing as you just wanted to change what's in the browser's location bar and not where the content is:</h2> <p>You need to <strong>re-rewrite</strong> what the 2nd rule above has rewritten <strong>BACK</strong> to index.php, but without a redirect. In order to keep the 2 rules from looping indefinitely because one rule rewrites to the other rule and vice versa, you need to add a flag somewhere to keep the 2nd rule above from redirecting you over and over again.</p> <p>So combining the two, you'll have this:</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? /index.php?site=$1&category=$2&redirected [L] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !redirected RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^site=([^&]+)&category=([^&]+) RewriteRule ^index.php /%1/%2? [L,R=301] </code></pre> <p>Note the <code>redirected</code> parameter in the query string. This gets inserted when someone tries to access the clean version of the url, e.g. "/food/beef". internally, it gets rerouted to index.php but since the rule doesn't have a "R", the browser's location bar doesn't change.</p> <p>The second rule now checks if the request contains the <code>redirected</code> param in the query string. If it doesn't, that means someone entered in their browser's location bar the index.php url, so redirect the browser to the clean version.</p>
