htaccess rewrite url with query string and variables

Question

I have the following files in my website

{website}/restserver/user-create.php?id=...
{website}/restserver/user-read.php
{website}/restserver/session-login.php
...

I'd like to access them using the following addresses

{website}/user/create?id=...
{website}/user/read?id=...
{website}/session/login?id=...

I think you get it. I need to use the two level path to build the filename, maintaining the querystring.

Is it possible?

Thanks!

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/user/create$ /restserver/user-create.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^/user/read$ /restserver/user-read.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^/session/login$ /restserver/session-login.php [NC,L]

You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/?((?!restserver/)[^/]+)/([^/])/?$ restserver/$1-$2.php [L,NC]

Query string will be automatically carried over to target URI.

Hi, can you explain the last line? Because I like this solution better, but I can't seem to make it work, while the one of @RamRaider does.

^/user and ^/session will only work from httpd config NOT from .htaccess. Also it is not a good idea to hardcode these paths. If you need /user/info tomorrow then you will need another rule using that approach.

I had minor issue with my rule which is fixed now. (?!restserver/) is a negative lookahead that says if URI doesn't start with restserver then route it to /restserver/<capture1>-<capture2> where capture1 and capture2 are the captured groups (...) in pattern.

Thanks, now it is perfect!

From the solutions above, I found a general solution.

RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)?$ restserver/$1-$2.php [L]

Thank you all!
