htaccess rewriterule 2 parameters in url

im having an issue with rewriting an url via .htaccess, i have the following url

www.website.com/people.php?search=search

via htaccess i turn it into .../people/search

 RewriteRule ^people/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ people.php?search=$1
 RewriteRule ^people/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ people.php?search=$1search=$1

in the url the user can also add a location which should be

www.website.com/people.php?search=something&&location=something

how can i use rewrite rule to add the two search parameters to the new rewrite url?

Thanks in advance

Answer:

This should be your 2nd rule

RewriteRule ^people/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ people.php?search=$1&location=$2 [NC,QSA,L]

It rewrites "/people/foo/bar" to "/people.php?search=foo&location=bar"

Try :

RewriteRule ^people/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ people.php?search=$1&location=$2 [NC,QSA,L]
 RewriteRule ^people/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ people.php?search=$1 [NC,QSA,L]
