Welcome to TWF, paulj.

You're over complicating things here. To achieve what you want, all you need is the following:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^/rewrite_test/details/(.*)\.php$ /index.php?SEL=$1 [L]

'Now when you type in mydomain.com/rewrite_test/details/test1.php, Apache will display mydomain.com/rewrite_test/details/index.php?SEL=test1

Sorry, I don't quite grasp your message. You have the following URL:

mydomain.com/rewrite_test/details/index.php?SEL=test1

And you want the URL in the browser window to show:

mydomain.com/rewrite_test/details/test1.php

A very simple way to achieve this would be to use one frame at the second URL and load the content of the first URL into it, thus keeping the browser window location to the second (more frindly URL).

If I have misunderstood your question and that you are trying to take advanatge of the mod_rewrite module, then maybe the following guide will help you. I doubt that you need such a complex regex.
