.htaccess rewrite rules for multiple parameters
Rewriting the following 3 urls
http://example.com/index.php?page=search
in
http://example.com/search
http://example.com/index.php?page=profile&value=myname
in
http://example.com/myname
http://example.com/index.php?page=stats&type=daily
in
http://example.com/stats/daily
The current .htaccess is written like this:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\?page=([^\s&]+)&value=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ index/%1/%2? [R=302,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\?page=([^\s&]+)&type=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ index/%1/%2? [R=302,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\?page=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ index/%1/? [R=302,L,NE]
RewriteRule ^index/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&value=$2 [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^index/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&type=$2 [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^index/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
I need to remove / index / from the first and third urls and / index / profile / from the second.
All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

There are presumably 3 exceptions (special cases) to the current rules, so the existing rules should not change. (?)
Add the following "special cases" right after your directive, RewriteBase
before your existing rules:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\?page=(search)
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [R=302,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\?page=profile&value=(myname)
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [R=302,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\?page=(stats)&type=(daily)
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2? [R=302,L]
If you need to internally rewrite those specific URLs back to "real" parameterized versions, then at the end of your .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^(search)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(myname)$ /index.php?page=profile&value=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(stats)/(daily)$ /index.php?page=$1&type=$2 [L,QSA]
(I removed the flag NC
- add it back if you really need it.)

You cannot have both a search and a profile of the same regex pattern. For example, if someone asks:
http://example.com/index/foo
Are they trying to navigate to a page called "foo" or to the profile of a user named "foo"? You need to add something that separates the two, maybe something like:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\?page=profile&value=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ profile/%1? [R=302,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\?page=([^\s&]+)&type=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ page/%1/%2? [R=302,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\?page=([^\s&]+)(\ |$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ page/%1? [R=302,L,NE]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=profile&value=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^page/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&type=$2 [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^page/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
This makes your urls look like:
http://example.com/profile/myname
http://example.com/page/search
http://example.com/page/stats/daily
