htaccess help needed, Please?

I am trying to use htaccess file to rewrite urls, I really have zero experience at this and everything I have done is from searching here and on google. My links have query parameters in them. I send everything to an index.php page.

I have tested all the links before trying to rewrite them and they all work in the index page. So then I created an htaccess file to rewrite the links but all I get is a blank page, none of the variables are being sent to the index page. I use $_GET in the index.php page to retrieve the variables.

Here is a list of type of links I am trying to rewrite along with a copy of my actual htaccess file, also mod rewrte is on and functioning properly in apache. Please help me change my htaccess file to do EXACTLY what I am wanting according to the sample links I have shown below, please?

The directory rewrite is fine and works accordingly, it is the links that don't.

Also, if you notice in links #1 and #2 the page parameter does not and should not appear in the rewritten links for these 2 links ONLY, but a blank or empty string is still sent to my index.php.

example--

Code: Select all

<?php

$page= $_GET['page'];
$user= $_GET['user'];
$act= $_GET['act'];
$section= $_GET['section'];
$search= $_GET['search']
$xx= $_GET['xx'];

if($page == ''){
   //Do some code
}elseif($page == 'search'){
   //Do some code
?>
