Rewrite URL with request variable using .htaccess

Question

Please help me. I need to rewrite this url

http://example.com/topusers.php?sort=post_count&time=month

into this style

http://example.com/top/post_count/month

I'm using this in .htaccess but when I visit example.com/top, it shows 404 Not Found.

RewriteRule ^top/([^/.]+)?/?(.*)$ topusers.php?sort=$1&time=$2

It needs to be accessible via example.com/top too, because I've set default values if sort and time are not set via URL.

Thank you.

You're requring slash after top in your rewrite rule.

RewriteRule ^top/?([^/.]+)?/?(.*)$ topusers.php?sort=$1&time=$

Thank you for your answer. If I want the slash at the end of URL to be optional (URL works fine with or without it), how do I alter the RewriteRule? :)

Thank you, but it's not working. Yes, it's accessible, but when I echo the variables, results are wrong. Example links: topusers.php?sort=post&time=all, With ^top/([^/.]+)?/?(.*)$ topusers.php?sort=$1&time=$2, sort = 'post', time = 'all' With ^top/?([^/.]+)?/?(.*)$ topusers.php?sort=$1&time=$2, sort = 'users', time = '.php'

your link in that case should be top/post/all - not topusers.php?sort=post&time=all
