.htaccess rewriting error - writing non-friendly parameters

Question

When I request

http://localhost/project/mycontroller/

the URL rewrites to

http://localhost/project/mycontroller/?l=mycontroller

The .htaccess (my guess) is concatenating the same GET variable to the URL.

Note 1 : l is actually my $_GET variable and everything works fine, even if I mess up with the non-friendly URL.

Note 2 : Firstly I thought it could be some redirecting that my framework could be doing so I put a php exit(); on the first line of the index.php and it continued to rewrite, so I thought it could be the .htaccess file.

Have any of you solved this before?

What is location your .htaccess? Are there more rule or any other .htaccess any where in your system? — anubhava
The file is located on the root folder: localhost/project/.htaccess, there is another .htaccess on the admin folder: localhost/project/admin/.htaccess — melloc
ok is this full /project/.htaccess content? And is /project/mycontroller/ a real directory? — anubhava
Yes, it is the full content, and it is a real directory @anubhava — melloc
Hmm doesn't look like it pasted full content since <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> is not closed in the code above. — anubhava

Try this code:

<Files magic>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php5
</Files>
Header append Vary User-Agent       
DirectorySlash off

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase /project/

#?l=local -> /local
RewriteRule ^(\w+)/?$ ?l=$1 [QSA,L]

#?l=local&sl=sublocal -> local/sublocal
RewriteRule ^(\w+)/(\w+)/?$ ?l=$1&sl=$2 [QSA,L]

#?l=local&sl=sublocal&cod=1 -> local/sublocal-1
RewriteRule ^(\w+)/(\w+)/(\w+)/?$ ?l=$1&sl=$2&cod=$3 [QSA,L]

#?l=local&sl=sublocal&cod=1 -> local/sublocal/var
RewriteRule ^(\w+)/(\w+)/(\w+)/?$ ?l=$1&sl=$2&var=$3 [QSA,L]

</IfModule>
