i solved the [rblem finally and i will post is solution maybe it will help someone

problem ::
i have two rewrite rules

RewriteRule q/(.*) search.php?q=$1
RewriteRule www.(.*) web.php?url=$1

now if someone come to site and have url like : www.site.com/q/www.daniweb.com

i can see /q/www.daniweb.com and i want that it pass to search.php but in this case it will pass to both rules and as result two php pages (search.php and web.php) will open simultanenously which is not good becuase two pages open at once result one dirty page full of both pages results

so to avoid that problem we should skip one rule becuase we are only interested in search.php as parameters as passed as /q/www.daniweb.com

solution::

RewriteRule q/(.*) search.php?q=$1 [S=1]
RewriteRule www.(.*) web.php?url=$1

s=1 // # of rules u want to skip i want to skil web.php so i set s=1
that all :)
