Convert string to mod_rewrite?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

can the string catalog2.php?id=1&type=mod
be turned into a string ^catalog/([-a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/?$
using mod_rewrite?
e.g. catalog/greatwall

Answer 1

Can.
For example like this:

RewriteRule ^catalog/([^/]+)/?$ catalog2.php?id=$1&type=mod [QSA]

Answer 2

Please rewrite the script then so that you can get car models by key
the user writes catalog/lifan/
php in the browser and receives catalog2.php? type=mod&model_name=lifan as input from apache,
then you don’t need to suffer by id, and the search is by key, not by ID, since you need a CNC
