I have been through the various tutorials on this site and just cant seem to find the answer, so i was wondering if anyone could help me add a second variable to a mod rewrite. I know how to add one, but the second one i just cant seem to get. Heres what i have:

RewriteRule ^forums/newtopic/([0-9]+).*$ forums/newtopic.php?id=$1
but i need it to make this url (www.site.com/forums/newtopic.php?id=ID&action=process)
into (www.site.com/forums/newtopic/ID/process/

Mmmk, so what have you tried? I can tell you this much, depending on what exactly you did, the '.*' at the end there will probably through you off a bit.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^forums/newtopic/(.*)/process/ forums/newtopic.php?id=$1&action=process

I think this will do it =)

Assuming process is the only action he wants, and any value can be accepted as an id.

I think this would work a bit better (though, '.*' could be used to match the action rather then the limiting values i have):

RewriteRule ^forums/newtopic/([0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)/? forums/newtopic.php?id=$1&action=$2
