htaccess rewriteRule不显示新网址

Question

My question is how to get the URL in the RewriteRule to display when I click the link (domain.com/?brandID=1&name=Beretta).

My tests make me believe it might have something to do with index.php, but maybe not. My script is triggered by the GET variable being set, and queries the DB and includes the page that displays the results (and the "ugly" url).

Here's the .htaccess code:

# Rewrite for ?brandID=1&name=Name
RewriteRule ^pistol-brand/([0-9]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+) ?brandID=$1&name=$2 [NC,L]

I want to replace domain.com/?brandID=1&name=Beretta with domain.com/pistol-brand/1/beretta

The code above displays the "ugly" url, but when I change the url to what the RewriteRule states (domain.com/pistol-brand/1/beretta), the page works.

How do I get the "new" url to display when the link is clicked?

Thanks for any assistance.

You need one more to redirect the ugly url to sef format

##1)Redirect /?brandID=foo&name=bar to //pistol-brand/foo/bar##
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /\?brandID=([^&]+)&name=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /pistol-brand/%1/%2? [L,R]
##2)Rewrite  /pistol-brand/foo/bar to /?brandID=foo&name=bar##
    RewriteRule ^pistol-brand/([0-9]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+) ?brandID=$1&name=$2 [NC,L]
