mod_rewrite for url with？

Question

I can't find my answer on the other questions here in StackOverflow.. mod_rewrites generator are failing so I don't know how to do that..

I have that urls: http://example.com/?index&category=football

football are dynamic generator by php, so there is many categories. So I want my URL like this: http://example.com/football

How to do that with mod_rewrite? Thank you so much!

Try:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+\?index&category=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /?index&category=$1 [L,QSA]
