How to create clean url using .htaccess for multiple parameters

Question

This is my .htaccess code to rewrite clean url.

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+download\.php\?id=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ download/%1? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^download/([^/]+)/?$ download.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

This code works fine for single parameter in url. For example it rewrites www.mysitename.com/download.php?id=123 to www.mysitename.com/download/123

But when I tried to pass multiple parameters in url, all I got are errors. Searched various resources and related questions but didn't got proper solution.

I need a url like www.mysitename.com/download/123/file-name instead of www.mysitename.com/download.php?id=123&name=file-name

I guess I've to use something thing like this RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ download.php?id=$1&name=$2. But while implementing I'm getting 404 error. How can I alter My code to pass multiple urls. Thanks in advance.

You just need to add a parameter in your rule

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+download\.php\?id=([0-9]+)&name=([^\s&]+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ download/%1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^download/([0-9]+)/([^/]+)/?$ download.php?id=$1&name=$2 [L]
