A:
You have a file that accepts two HTTP GET parameters, category and subcategory. Let's say http://www.example.org/products.php?category=bicycles&subcategory=racing yields an index of racing bikes.
To transform that URL into something prettier, say http://www.example.org/bikes/racing, enter this into your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^products/([a-zA-Z]*)/([a-zA-Z]*)$ products.php?category=$1&subcategory=$2
As you can see, mod_rewrite revolves around regular expressions. If you don't know your way around them, I recommend you look into regular-expressions.info to get started. When you've learned the basics, it can be very educational to play around in a regex tester (I like RegexPal, but there are hundreds of alternatives).
