Query Strings & Mod ReWrite

I have written a .htaccess file which correctly translates the following line into

http://localhost/questions/32/new-question-from-peter

into

http://localhost/questions.php?question_id=32.

The code I use is

RewriteRule ^questions/([0-9]+)/[^/]*(?:\?(.+)=(.*))?$ public/questions.php?question_id=$1&$2=$3 [NC,L]

However when the url is the following,

http://localhost/questions/32/new-question-from-peter?page= <int>

it will not process the page information correctly even though when my url is

http://localhost/questions.php?question_id=32&page=2

it works perfectly.

Can someone help me with this please, where in my code have I gone wrong

You should use the QSA (Query String Append) flag, like this:

RewriteRule ^questions/([0-9]+)/[^/]*/?$ public/questions.php?question_id=$1 [NC,L,QSA]

The query string (&page=2) is handled automatically in this case, so you don’t need to deal with it in your regular expression, and is appended to the end of the rewritten URL.
