Implementing short links in pagination (.htaccess misconfiguration?)

[nita]

Have basic article directory and i'm busy with pagination. And i want to have it shortlinked.

 

Structure of the link looks like this:

 

Without pagination

<a href='moving-articles/category/$sublink/'>$sublink</a>

rewrite rule in .htaccess look like this

RewriteRule moving-articles/(.*)/(.*)/$ /moving-articles.php?$1=$2

That works perfectly fine.

 

 

So the problem i have here, one i try to add pagination. Link structure is like this for example:

<a href='moving-articles/category/$sublink/page/2/'>2</a>

rewrite rule in .htaccess:

RewriteRule moving-articles/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/$ /moving-articles.php?$1=$2&$3=$4

And piece of php code responsible for calling variables:

if(isset($_GET['category']) && isset($_GET['page']))
{
$sublink=$_GET['category'];
$page=$_GET['page'];
.....
}

What do i do wrong here? Thanks for your help in advance!
