how to remove multiple query string variable from url using htaccess or other technique

Question

My website has dynamic pages such as

http://www.example.com/detailpage.php?sn=1%20&&%20database=news
http://www.example.com/detailpage.php?sn=1%20&&%20database=article
http://www.example.com/detailpage.php?sn=1%20&&%20database=interview

and many other

I want to remove or hide query string variable from url and display as

http://www.krishisansar.com/detailpage/news/1
http://www.krishisansar.com/detailpage/article/1

Is it possible to change querystring as slash ? if not, how to remove & and make as

/news=1 or /news=2, 
/article=1 or /article=2 .

By this, I can validate from w3c.

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

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /detailpage\.php\?sn=([^\s&]+)&database=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ detailpage/%2/%1? [R=302,L,NE]

RewriteRule ^detailpage/(\w+)/(\d+)/?$ detailpage.php?sn=$2&database=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

ok check updated rule. Make sure this is in root .htaccess (a level above news)

Fantastic. you really saved my time. this worked perfectly for me. According your code, url is displayed as my wish, but print mysql error. I suppose last line RewriteRule ^detailpage/(\w+)/(\d+)/?$ detailpage.php?sn=$2database=$1 [L,QSA,NC] is missing & between sn=$2 and database=$1. When I add & error is solved but css rule is disturbed. I am confused, adding & is wrong or my internal structure is wrong ?

Ah that's right, I had & missing in last rule. I have fixed it now. For css/js issue add this in the <head> section of your page's HTML: <base href="/" /> so that every relative URL is resolved from that URL and not the current page's URL.

Nice answer. The original links were a mess.
