Rewrite URL with .htaccess for multiple parameters

You have to treat the rules separately. All Conditions preceding rules only apply to a single, immediately following rule. You tried to ‘chain’ two rules. The second rule never could have matched, since the first one was a catch-all that changed the syntax. Apart from that you have to make sure that the first rule does not catch unwanted requests. Also think about whether you want to use the * or the + operator in the patterns. I suggest you use the + operator, so that you have a clear error message when empty values are requested for a ‘page’ or a ‘subpage’.

So this might come closer to what you are looking for:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ index.php?p=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?p=$1&sp=$2 [L]
