Creating SEO friendly URLs with htaccess - mod-rewrite

when I change the link It shows me an error page. maybe there is a problem with my website what do you think?
There is the url in my website: www.mywebsite.com/picture.php?1
and I want to change it to something like this: www.mywebsite.com/picture/1
here is my .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^website.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.mywebsite.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
RewriteRule ^contact\/?$ contact.php [L]
RewriteRule ^terms\/?$ terms.php [L]
**RewriteRule ^picture/(.*)/$ picture.php?$1 [L]**
Please help,
I have no clue what is the problem.

Try adding
<base href="www.mywebsite.com" />
At the top of your page, this might work.
EDIT:
Try using this rewrite rule
RewriteRule picture/(.*)/$ /picture.php?$1 [L, NC]

assuming that the first part of your htaccess works, replace your last line with the following:
RewriteRule ^picture/(.*)$ /picture.php?$1 [NC]

Rewrite Rule not taking effect

I am trying to rewrite some URLs using my .htaccess file and the following syntax:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^movie/([0-9]+)/$ movie.php?id=$1
Basically, the URL http://screeningapp.co.uk/movie.php?id=771316320 should be rewritten to http://screeningapp.co.uk/movie/771316320, but that's not happening and I'm not sure why.
Thanks!
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^movie/([0-9]+)/?$ /movie.php?id=$1 [L,nc]
#if you wanna redirect movie.php?id=1 to movie/1/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)($|&)
RewriteRule ^movie.php$ /movie/%1? [R=301,L,NC]

.htaccess redirect all .html pages to process.php with get parameter

I want to redirect all links that have .html extension to a process.php file with directory + page name as get parameter. I have tried these link1 link2 solution but it does not work.
for e.g
http://localhost/Site/directory1/test1.html
http://localhost/Site/directory2/test2.html
to redirected to process.php as
http://localhost/Site/process.php?directory1/test1.html
http://localhost/Site/process.php?directory2/test2.html
I have tried like this.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*).html /process.php?page=$1
and this
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.html$
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?([^/]*)\.php$ /process.php?page=$2 [R=301,L]
but it does not work.
Please see and suggest any possible way to do this.
Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/(.*\.html) /$1/process.php?page=$2 [R=301,L]
Your second example is very close to what I believe your looking for. Your just off by one directory and your looking for .php when you should be looking for .html. Give this a try.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)\.html$ /Site/process.php?$2/$3 [R=301, L]
This should do(assuming that the .htaccess file lives in the Site directory):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.html$
RewriteRule ^(.*?/)?(.*)$ /$1/process.php?page=$2 [R=301,L]

Domain Url Rewrite

What I'm looking to do is rewrite the url so that one of the directories are hidden. For example;
http://www.example.com/home/example.html
to
http://www.example.com/example.html
As I'm new to .htaccess and mod_rewrite, is this something that can be done?
This should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/home/.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/$1 [L]
Something like this should work.
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^example.html$ /home/example.html [NC,L]

How can I use mod_rewrite to do this

I would like to take a url at my site:
http://mysite.com/jk/drawing
but operationally drop the "jk" dir and have my users see this:
http://mysite.com/drawing
Is this possible? If so can someone give me an example of how it is done?
thanks,
The first thing you need to do is go and change all of your links from looking like this: http://mysite.com/jk/drawing to looking like this: http://mysite.com/drawing. Without doing this, people will still see all the /jk/ URLs everywhere, the only thing you can do about it is to make sure you've changed all your links. Then add these rules to the htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mysite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/jk/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /jk/$1 [L]
In order to correct for all the links still pointing to /jk/ that you don't have any control over:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mysite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /jk/([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L]

Rewrite URL on submit form

I have a search form and when I make a search I get this URL "http://****/video/view/search/?imeto_tam=tarsene" but I want to replace this the "?imeto_tam=tarsene" with the word I search for and my address to look like this - "http://****/video/view/search/tarsene". Generally I use mod_rewrite on my site and it's working for my links but it's not working for the form-s. Could someone tell me how to do it?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^view/([0-9a-zA-Z\-\(\)]+)/?$ index.php?a=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^view/([0-9a-zA-Z\-():]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z\-():\.,]+)$ index.php?a=$1&id=$2 [L]
These rules would go into your root .htaccess file and 301 redirect the querystring imeto_tam to the folder and then the next rule would make it get passed to your code (index.php)
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?imeto_tam=([^&]+)(&.*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^video/view/search/(index\.php)?$ /video/view/search/%2/? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^video/view/search/([^/]+)/$ /video/view/search/index\.php?imeto_tam=$1 [L]
