can i use same type of htaccess.
for example...i have categories,brands in leftpanel of my webpage.

this is for categories.
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+[^.]+)$ cat_product.php?name=$1 [NC]
and next i am using same to brands also...it is not working.it is redirecting to cat_products.php.
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+[^.]+)$ brand_product.php?bname=$1 [NC]
