[SOLVED] Custom URL rewrite problem

[freakystreak]

I have created a custom page that lists counties from a table in my database. When a user clicks a county a list of towns associated with that county appears. The pages work great but when I try to rewrite the URLS then it still works but it adds the query to the end of the URL.

 

Here's what I want: www.mysite.com/1/merseyside.html (1 is the county id)

Here's what I get: www.mysite.com/1/merseyside.html?c=1&county=merseyside

 

It's adding the ?c=1&county=merseyside to the re-written URL.

 

Here's what I've added to the top of my .htaccess file (in the root directory of my site).

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\.html$ mypage.php?&c=$1&county=$2

Is there another .htaccess file that this rule needs to go in as I can't seem to see how the category and product URLs are rewritten.

 

If anyone can help I'd be extremely grateful.

No matter sorted the problem. Could you please close this topic. I had www.mysite.com in the link and should have had just mysite.com
