Question

Is it possible to redirect url parameters as segments in .htaccess file?

i.e.

test/index.php?parameter=MYVALUE

to

test/MYVALUE/

Answer 1

Yes. Try this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} parameter=(.*)
RewriteRule test/index\.php test/%1

According to “What is matched?” in the mod_rewrite docs, the query string (part after the ?) is separated out into the QUERY_STRING variable, which then has to be tested separately from the main part of the URL. In RewriteCond, the parameter value is captured by the regular expression within the parentheses (.*), and is then available as %1 in the RewriteRule.
