Hello,

I’m trying to change /a/b/c to /index.php?a=1&b=2&c=3

I’ve got the rule in my htaccess file:

```auto
RewriteRule ([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? /index2.php?main=$1&category=$2 [QSA]

```

But I can’t figure out how to make this rule flexible to various amount of variables.

So  
/a should rewrite to /index.php?a=1  
/a/b should rewrite to /index.php?a=1&b=2  
/a/b/c should rewrite to /index.php?a=1&b=2&c=3

hlep 🙂
