Need Help With URL Manipulations.

[SlickVic78]

Hello All,

I decided to try and play around with directives/parameters you can place within .htaccess within a directory on a web hosting server. I am looking to do the following and really have no clue (after looking through the vast amount of sites online) what to really use (since I am not sure what I am looking for).

This is what I would like to accomplish:

Change This: http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?pg=home
To This: http://www.mydomain.com/home

Obviously, the modified URL will act just like the original link so that I can easily use the pg variable within my code (since I have a few checks on the variable "pg").

Also, continuing with this same concept, would it be easy to pass multiple variables within the same URL (example: http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?pg=home&cmd=do)?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
