I'm developing a website using PHP. My .htaccess has this rewrite rule: 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^book/([^/]*)\.html$ book.php?title=$1 [L]

So the URL that looked like: www.example.com/book.php?title=title-of-the-book turns into www.example.com/book/title-of-the-book.html

In a specific case, from another page in the site, I want to link to pages like this: www.example.com/book.php?title=title-of-the-book?myfield=1 that then turns into www.example.com/book/title-of-the-book.html?myfield=1.html

Being ther, I cannot acces the GET variables using the usual PHP way 

$variable = $_GET['myfield']

How do I solve this problem?

Specify [QSA] (Query string append) so you may pass a query string after your url.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^book/([^/]*)\.html$ book.php?title=$1 [QSA,L]

PS: Why are you using * here? Wouldn't + suit better?

I don't know about the * and + . I don't understand very much about URL rewritin, so a friend of mine wrote these rules for me. Why do you think there should be a * instead of a + ?
* is zero or more characters, i.e. book/.html would be allowed, too. + is one or more characters, so book/.html wouldn't be matched.
