rewrite urls with GET reqs

Question

Hello, how do I configure my .htaccess rewrite rules to accomodate GET requests?

Currently, /manager/page goes to: ?dept=manager&n=page however, some pages have additional GET reqs, and so this rule doesn't work:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)/([A-Za-z]+)$ index.php?dept=$1&n=$2 [QSA]

I would need: ?dept=manager&n=page&id&etc=etc to go to: /manager/page/id/5/etc/6 however, not all pages present the same method of id input, IE. some pages used id, others catid, and others, bugid, so it's a bit difficult.

Thanks :)

UPDATED: END URL - id/5/etc/6

Answer 1

If your input methods are really that varied, you should use multiple RewriteRules for each different format.

Answer 2

You just need to sepcify a different rule.

RewriteCond ${HTTP_METHOD}  "GET"
RewriteRule --your rule--
