Currently my .htaccess looks like this...

```
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA]  

```

It currently changes any /xxx.php file into /xxx. This is great for SEO. However, I also want Mr. htaccess to convert certain URLs into a URL + query string. For instance when user goes to 

/specific/somerandominfo

Then somerandominfo is passed to the specific.php file. I normally have no problem doing this using rewrites, but because of my fancy catchall rewrite, I can't figure out how to do it. 

For example if I add 

```
RewriteRule ^specific/([^/]+)$ /specific.php?somerandominfo=$1 [NC]  

```

to my .htaccess, then hitting up /specific/somerandominfo just serves me a big fat 500 Internal Service Error.

Any help from you apache gurus out there would be so, so cool.

Thanks!

p.s. anybody want to also throw in any other cool SEO tricks that they like? I'll bake you cookies.
