How to rewrite a URL using htaccess?

URL Rewrite Help Get Method?

• Ok, I have tried to research this on my own so please spare me the simple page links to search results on GET Method or Mod_Rewrite. I need to rewrite a url from a get method search form like this. <form action="" method="get" name="form1" id="form1"> <span class="style7"> <div align="center"> State: <input name="state" size="3" maxlength="2" /> City: <input name="city" size="30" /> <input type=SUBMIT value="Go There!" /> <p></p> </div> </span> </form> Where a user can enter a city name and a state code. Such as Seattle WA and currently it returns it in a query string (obviously) What steps do I need to take to rewrite this to rewrite the url as www.domain.com/state/wa/city/seattle.h… Which is where the page will reside. I have messed around with my .htaccess file countless times trying various codes using all types of things (and from rewrite code generators) and nothing happens. Do I need a php file to process it? Any code would be a huge help!
