title: $_GET variables disappear when mod_rewrite rewrites .html to .php
body: <p>I'm using mod_rewrite to rewrite .html to .php.</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z-_]+)\.html$ index.php?p=$1 [L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But, I'm having issues when using a $_GET in the URL. It works fine if requested URL is in this format: <code>index.php?a=f1</code></p>
  
  <p>BUT, if it rewrites it to <code>home.html?a=f1</code>, NOTHING.</p>
  
  <p>Assuming it's just the browser stops reading after it hits the .html. Is there a way to make this work?</p>
