URL Rewriting with two URL parameters

Question

I am attempting URL Rewriting for a URL with two get parameters, I want to covert a page:

status/mystatus.php?=reference=1234&postcode=LL1+LL2

Into:

status/1234/LL1+LL2

I have tried using the following code:

RewriteRule ^status/([a-z0-9A-Z]+)/([a-z0-9A-Z]+)$ status/mystatus.php?reference=$1&postcode=$2 [NC,L]

But it doesn't seem to be working, so what am I doing wrong? (The module is turned on, I am using Apache)

It's not really under my control, but I know it works because it is working with a different url like I can send requests for details to details.php — Alex

as @ShivanRaptor mentioned ensure RewriteEngine On is at the top of your .htaccess file. — hafichuk

Try changing the expressions inside the parentheses to [^/]+ so it looks like:

RewriteRule ^status/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ status/mystatus.php?reference=$1&postcode=$2 [NC,L]

Because [a-z0-9A-Z] won't match things like "+".
