    If the request uri does not contain “swf”, “thumbs” and so on

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(swf|thumbs|index.php|template.php)

    make /template.php?cat=etc out of /etc.php

    RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+).php?$ template.php?cat=$1 [L,QSA]

    L = “last rule” and QSA = append any existing query string to the newly created target uri.
