Answer 1

get request is not part of the url and does not fall into the rewrite rule.

# 301 --- http://www.test3.com/faq.html?faq=13&layout=bob => bbq.html
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)faq\=13($|&)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)layout\=bob($|&)
RewriteRule ^faq\.html$ /bbq.html? [L,R=301]

Firstly, the mysql extension is outdated , and secondly, $sql = mysql_query(...add it after the line echo mysql_error( $link );and see what's wrong with the query.
