htaccess mod_rewrite query string path

Question

I've seen and implemented rewrite urls that convert query strings to paths and vice versa. I'm still not very good at writing custom rules and I haven't seen an example where the query string's converted path is re-written as the first subdirectory of a URL.

Using htaccess rewrite rules, is this possible? www.website.com/?d=test rewrites to www.website.com/test and www.website.com/about/?d=test rewrites to www.website.com/test/about and www.website.com/about/overview/?d=test rewrites to www.website.com/test/about/overview

It is, it's just not typically useful - paths are often rewritten to query strings so that the back-end can process them more conveniently while the URLs look more readable. — pvg

You can use:

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^d=(.+)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ %1/$1? [L]
