rewriting help needed

[akreider]

I'm trying to rewrite the first into the second:
editperson.php?id=10&
editobject.php?gsObjname=person&id=10&

I'm not good with regular expressions, so my attempts are failing and I'd appreciate help.

Please post your best effort at coding this, and also specify which parts of the source and destination URLs are fixed and which are variables -- We need to know how you intend to 'derive' the new URL(s) from the information in the old one(s).

Maybe...

RewriteRule editperson\.php\?id=(.*)& editobject.php?gsObjname=person&id=$1& [NE]

[akreider]

That was similar to my best attempts and it gives an error:

The requested URL /editperson.php was not found on this server

I'm wondering if you can only rewrite the page name, and you cannot rewrite the query-string (eg the variables after the question mark in the URL).

[jdMorgan]

You must use
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _your_pattern_goes_here_
to test and create a back-reference to your query data.
