    MAYBE, because of conflict?
    RewriteRule (.*)-(.*).html ringtones.php?id=$1&name=$2
RewriteRule (.*)-(.*).html games.php?id=$1&name=$2
    Code (markup):
    that means 12-funny-ringtones.htm can be ringtones.php?id=12&name=funny-ringtones OR games.php?id=12&name=funny-ringtones.

    If that's the problem, then you can try to add a prefix to the new url.
    example:
    RewriteRule ringtones-(.*)-(.*).html ringtones.php?id=$1&name=$2
RewriteRule games-(.*)-(.*).html games.php?id=$1&name=$2
    Code (markup):

    Yes. But logically, the code you used in the htaccess is invalid.
    IMO, that's the reason.

    You have to use two different representation, or the webserver will get confused on what the url will be rewritten to.

    It's something like this:
    - Someone visited http://www.website.com/12-funny-ringtones.html
    RewriteRule (.*)-(.*).html ringtones.php?id=$1&name=$2
    Code (markup):
    - .htaccess told the webserver to rewrite the url from http://www.website.com/12-funny-ringtones.html to http://www.website.com/ringtones.php?id=12&name=funny-ringtones.
    RewriteRule (.*)-(.*).html games.php?id=$1&name=$2
    Code (markup):
    - .htaccess told the webserver AGAIN to rewrite the url from http://www.website.com/12-funny-ringtones.html to http://www.website.com/games.php?id=12&name=funny-ringtones.

    So you will have to change the (.*)-(.*).html and give it an unique name. For example, ringtones-(.*)-(.*).html for ringtones.php?id=&name= and games-(.*)-(.*).html for games.php?id=&name=.

    Sorry, i dont understand wht u are talking about but if you want Fixed 'ringtones' and 'games' to be variable then try this:

    RewriteRule (.*)-(.*)-(.*).html $1.php?id=$2&name=$3
    Code (markup):
    It means that if you enter
    games-01-wohoo.html will be actually games.php?id=01&name=wohoo

    and if you enter
    ringtones-01-funny+ringtone.html , will be actually ringtones.php?id=01&name=funny+ringtone

    hope this is what you are looking for.
    Thanks
