varunkrish,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Our forum charter [webmasterworld.com] contains a link to a regular-expressions tutorial which you may find helpful.

> i want to build url like site.com/brand-model-id.php

RewriteRule ^[^\-]+-[^\-]+-(.+)$ /phone.php?id=$1 [L]

First group matches any characters up to the first hyphen in requested URL -- this is the brand.
Hyphen matches first hyphen in requested URL.
Second group matches any characters up to the second hyphen -- this is the model.
Last group matches any remaining characters, and they are copied into variable $1.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^[^\-]+-[^\-]+-(.+).php$ /phone.php?id=$1

Use this, it'll be faster:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^[^\-]+-[^\-]+-([^.]+)\.php$ /phone.php?id=$1

I'll leave the rest to you, since you figured out the extension. :) We're here to help you learn (See forum Charter [webmasterworld.com]). If you don't want to do it yourself, there is always our Commercial Exchange [webmasterworld.com] forum.
