mod_rewrite confusion - .htaccess

I have a few rewritten urls pointing to the original dynamic urls like so:
http://mysite.com/profile/edit/ => http://mysite.com/index.php?action=profile&sa=edit
Here's the rewriterule in the htaccess:
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /index.php?action=$1&sa=$2 [L]
^ So that works just fine.
Now I also have the following url:
http://mysite.com/search/editorials/ => http://mysite.com/index.php?action=search&category=editorials
The rewrite which follows the previous rewrite rule posted above:
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /index.php?action=$1&category=$2 [L]
^ This does not work. I checked the $_SERVER array and this is what's being redirected to the query string:
action=search&sa=editorials
I've been at this for a day so far, I've tried various tutorials but with no luck. How do I get this to work?
Any help appreciated. Thank you.

The two rewrites are conflicting with each other. You need to create some type of distinction between the two of them
RewriteRule ^account/(.)/([^/])/$ /index.php?action=$1&sa=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/])/([^/])/$ /index.php?action=$1&category=$2 [L]
or make the parameters consistent and use a single rewrite:
RewriteRule ^([^/])/([^/])/$ /index.php?action=$1&parm1=$2 [L]

htaccess extract path only from THE_REQUEST into a variable

This should be rather simple, but after trying for several hours and also searching everywhere, all the related answers do not suffice.
I have this so far:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([a-zA-Z0-9-_/\.]+)?
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=TRGT:%1]
What the match should be doing is the following:
for URL example.com it should contain nothing, or not be defined
for URL example.com/ it should contain nothing, or not be defined
for URL example.com/some-word it should contain some-word
for URL example.com/some-word/ it should contain some-word
for URL example.com/some-word/?foo=bar it should contain some-word
for URL example.com/another_word/ it should contain another_word
for URL example.com/folder/file.ext it should contain folder/file.ext
for URL example.com/some/other.dot?bar=foo it should contain some/other.dot
for URL example.com/thing.ext/?foo=bar&bar=foo it should contain thing.ext
What I have so far seems to be working, except for when the request ends in some/ -or some/?thing=wat .. then it contains some/
I think I'm missing something really simple; any help will be appreciated, thank you.
UPDATE
I've managed to achieve these exact requirements with the following code, but, after trying many ways to do it in a 1-liner it fails horribly, so I did it in several lines:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} (?<=\s)(.*?)(?=\s)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=HREFPATH:%1]
RewriteCond %{ENV:HREFPATH} (^.*)?\?
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=HREFPATH:%1]
RewriteCond %{ENV:HREFPATH} /(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=HREFPATH:%1]
RewriteCond %{ENV:HREFPATH} (.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=HREFPATH:%1]
If anybody can reduce that to a s3xy 1(or 2)-liner I will choose your answer; thanks in advance.
Based on the accepted answer here the following fulfills the requirements of the question:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+([^?]*?)/*[\s?]
RewriteRule ^ - [E=HREFPATH:%1]

how to replace "?" and "=" sign with "/" in URL - PHP htaccess

i am working on project, which is running XAMPP localhost and PHP MYSQLI,
my question : how i replace "?","=" signs with "/" slash. ?
like, my url is "archive?date=2017-06-02&p=4"
and i want to force it "archive/2017-08-02/4"
i found many codes on stackoverflow and some other sites, but that are not working for me.
if codes are working then, CSS files and GET method doesn't work on my project.
complete code of .htaccess is given below.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^=]*)=([^=]*)=(.*) /$1/$2/$3 [N]
RewriteRule ^([^=]*)=([^=]*)$ $1/$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^home index.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^archive archive.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^about about.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^article article.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^news news.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^video videos.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^video?vid=([0-9]+) videos.php?q=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^article?num=([0-9]+) article.php?num=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^editorial?num=([0-9]+) editorial.php?num=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^news?news=([0-9]+) news.php?news=$1 [NC,L]
You cannot check against the query string in a rewrite rule. You need rewrite conditions for that:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} date=([^&]+)&p=(.+)
RewriteRule ^archive/? /archive/%1/%2?
Demo here: http://htaccess.mwl.be?share=81e85c09-d505-5206-ab14-6c5059107808
If you want to actually redirect just add [R=301,L] to the end of the RewriteRule.
However, looking at the above I suspect you have your script sitting listening at /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar but want URLs to be like /archive/date/p, ie pretty.
This is actually a very common misconception about how htaccess URL rewrites work when you first get into them.
RewriteRules will mask or redirect URLs for you but they cannot change the underlying location a script is located at and thus the address used to pass it information.
In other words - you can mask /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar as /archive/date/p so that requests made to /archive/date/p resolve to /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar, but you cannot make it so that if you enter /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar as URL you have the URL change to /archive/date/p while still serving content from /archive/date/p. It has to be either or.
If this all sounds about right my advice would be as follows:
First, put your code into a different file, say /archive/script.php.
Next add the following to your htaccess:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} date=([^&]+)&p=(.+)
RewriteRule ^archive/? /archive/%1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /archive/script.php?date=$1&p=$2
Note that the first two lines are the same as before, but now there is a new line that looks for the masked URL format of /archive/date/p and sends it off to the actual script, which is handled by the new RewriteRule.
The behaviour of the new rule is demoed here: http://htaccess.mwl.be?share=06751667-f16f-5c13-91eb-dd5cffdc6db3
Hope this makes sense / helps.

htaccess pagination modrewrite

Looking for some help with some pagination and mod-rewrite
okay so i've got a url that looks like this
www.website.com/page.php?phone=111-393-4949
and I'm rewriting it to look like this...
www.website.com/701-625-5444.php
with this
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+) page.php?number=$1-$2-$3 [L,QSA]
I'm having some issues with adding my pagination to the mod rewrite now.
I am really not too sure on what all I need to do here but this is what I've come up with
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)/([^/]*) page.php?number=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
which should output..
www.website.com/494-949-9494/1.php
what is it that I'm doing wrong?
Each () pair is a capture group. Since you already have three () groups for the phone number, the ([^/]*) you added will be captured in $4.
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)/([^/]*)$ page.php?number=$1-$2-$3&page=$4 [L,QSA]
If the pagination is optional, add an optional non-capturing group (?:)? around the final segment:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)(?:/([^/]*))?$ page.php?number=$1-$2-$3&page=$4 [L,QSA]
I will note that your RewriteRule does not forcefully include the .php as in your example www.website.com/701-625-5444.php. That would look like
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)\.php$ page.php?number=$1-$2-$3 [L,QSA]
# Or...
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)(?:/([^/]*))?\.php$ page.php?number=$1-$2-$3&page=$4 [L,QSA]

.htaccess change /es/ to .es

I am working with a domain like:
http://www.domain.com/es/blabla.html
And I want to change the /es part for .es and convert the URLS to something like:
http://www.domain.com.es/blabla.html
I've been trying lots of possibilities but I haven't reached a solution.
For example one of them has been:
RewriteRule ^es/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com.es/$1 [L]
But it has entered in an infinite loop. Which I've tried to avoid adding this lines:
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [L]
But the server doesn't allow this calls. So I still have the problem.
Check this.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\.html$ /es/blabla.html [L]

htaccess mod rewrite $_GET to variables with slashes

I would like to rewrite URL's with htaccess to better readable URL's and use the $_GET variable in PHP
I sometimes make use of a subdomain so it has to work with and without. Also are the variables not necessary in the url. I take a maximum of 3 variables in the URL
the URL sub.mydomain.com/page/a/1/b/2/c/3 should lead to sub.mydomain.com/page.php?a=1&b=2&c=3 and the url sub.mydomain.com/a/1/b/2/c/3 should lead to sub.mydomain.com/index.php?a=1&b=2&c=3 where $_GET['a'] = 1
I came up with this after searching and trying a lot
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.domain.com/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ $1.domain.com/$2.php?$3=$4&$5=$6&$7=$8 [QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.domain.com/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ $1.domain.com/index.php?$2=$3&$4=$5&$6=$7 [QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.domain.com/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ $1.domain.com/$2.php?$3=$4&$5=$6 [QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.domain.com/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ $1.domain.com/index.php?$2=$3&$4=$5 [QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.domain.com/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ $1.domain.com/$2.php?$3=$4 [QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.domain.com/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ $1.domain.com/index.php?$2=$3 [QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.domain.com/([^/]+)$ $1.domain.com/$2.php [L,QSA,NC]
but what I get is an not found server error
I'm not that good at this so maybe I oversee something.
Also I would like it to work with and without a slash at the end
Should I make use of RewriteCond and/or set some options?
Thanks in advance.
When using RewriteRule, you don't include the domain name in the line. Also, make sure you turn on the RewriteEngine first. Like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?$1=$2
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?$1=$2&$3=$4
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?$1=$2&$3=$4&$5=$6
The first line will rewrite sub.mydomain.com/a/1 to sub.mydomain.com/page.php?a=1, the second rewrites sub.mydomain.com/a/1/b/2 to sub.mydomain.com/page.php?a=1&b=2, and so on.
