For your url's you don't need to do the ini_set().
I'm assuming you believe that would change all of your &'s automatically, which it won't.

Im not expert at .htaccess mod rewrite but this should get the job done!

RewriteEngine On

That is how I would do your page that you have in your coding that you gave.

There should be other ways, but thats just something simple.
