PHP friendly url .htaccess - search page

Question

my .htaccess file works fine with the following url

http://www.mywebsite.com/product/category/Girls-Clothes

.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^product/category/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)$ /product/category/category.php?cid=$1
RewriteRule ^product/category/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)/$ /product/category/category.php?cid=$1

but when i use page number along with friendly url, it would not work

http://www.mywebsite.com/product/category/Girls-Clothes?pno=2

i have tow variables cid and pno, CID is mentioned in .htaccess but when i wtore "pno" its gives me sql error.

RewriteRule ^uk/category/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)$ /uk/category/category.php?cid=$1?pno=$1
RewriteRule ^uk/category/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)/$ /uk/category/category.php?cid=$1?pno=$1

please let me know where i am doing wrong

You ought to be using an ampersand (&) between the querystring parameters. Like: /uk/category/category.php?cid=$1&pno=$1 — arcyqwerty

With your current attempt, you are replacing the value of pno with the same value in cid, "Girls-Clothes", and I suspect that isn't what you want.

Just use the QSA flag to append the existing query string onto the request, so the pno= is passed through the rewrite along with the cid parameter you added.

RewriteRule ^uk/category/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/?$ /uk/category/category.php?cid=$1 [L,QSA]

Notice also I reduced it to one line by appending /? and removing / from the [] to make the trailing slash optional.

is my anchor link is corrent...(mywebsite.com/product/category/Girls-Clothes&pno=1)...but it gives me error object not found..

@ReelMark The query string should start with ?pno= not &pno=. The way you have it, the & would cause it not to match your rewrite rule pattern and you'd get a 404.
