title: Rewrite flat url to parameter
body: <p>I read quite a lot of posts on this, but nothing I could make work (or understand) so far. Let me apologize beforehand for asking something that might seems already answered.</p>
  
  <p>I have personalized URLs ( fx. <a href="http://www.somedomain.com/someword" rel="nofollow">http://www.somedomain.com/someword</a> ) which I need to turn into <a href="http://www.somedomain.com/test.php?name=someword" rel="nofollow">http://www.somedomain.com/test.php?name=someword</a></p>
  
  <p>The parameter (someword) is based on a persons name, meaning there's no file-ending (like .html)</p>
  
  <p>I tried a number of rewrites with htaccess, but no matter what, I get 'Internal server error', for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule   ^(.+)$   test.php?name=$1   [L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
  
  <p>Hans</p>
