mod_rewrite removing name of query string - php

Question

I have big problem with my urls. I know how to remove index.php form url, but problem is that I don't know to remove that "?act=" from url.
My link now is http: //localhost/doctrine/public/?act=test and I want to create it like http: //localhost/doctrine/public/test.
My current .htaccess file placed in public folder:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I need help how to do that.

Answer 1

Use this code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /doctrine/
RewriteRule ^(public)/([^/]+)/?$ $1/?act=$2 [L,QSA,NC]
# Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Before your expression engine rule, you can add:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /doctrine/public/?act=$1 [L]
To internally rewrite a request like http: //localhost/doctrine/public/test to /doctrine/public/?act=test. You need to make sure the links in your content look like /doctrine/public/test instead of the one with the query string. If there are links outside of your control (like google indexed pages) you can add this:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /doctrine/public/?\?act=([^&\ ]+)
Rewrite Rule ^ /doctrine/public/%1? [L,R=301]
to point browsers to the URL without the query string.
This unfortunately isn't going to be compatible with your expression engine URLs.
