rewrite .htaccess for search engine friendly url

[zeus]

I have a folder which have more folders, but all those are pages that are generated dynamic, so now I need thios to look good.

now it looks like .domain.com/gallery/pics?page=2
where i would like to be domain.com/gallery/pics2 or something like that, I have uplloaded this, but nothing happen.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule pictures(.*)\.htm$ /gallery/pic?page=$1

That's half the job, but did you change all the links on all of your pages?

This post [webmasterworld.com] in our library may help explain what I mean.

I did it this way:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule pages/page/(.*)/ pages.php?page=$1
RewriteRule pages/page/(.*) pages.php?page=$1

So I changed the URL from /pages.php?page=$1 to pages/page/$1
