i dont need htaccess since i want easy installation of my plugin.
only click activated both plugins and permalink done.

i have trick get query from request uri

if(isset($_GET['q']) AND isset($_GET['type'])) {
$q = $_GET['q'];
$type = $_GET['type']; 
}
if(preg_match('/\/pdf\//', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
$q = end(explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));
$type = 'pdf';
}

now my plugins have nice permalink

but any suggestion about rewrite url using wordpress API are wellcome.

i still need it for more complex variable

Did you try with $_SERVER["PATH_INFO"] ??

preg_match('@[/]{1}([a-zA-Z0-9]+)@', $_SERVER["PATH_INFO"], $query);

$query will contain an array of elements, from the example, $query[0] = 'q' and $query[1] = 'type'

its great. i will use it. with this more easily passing the pdf, doc, docx and other path using function if in array.
thanks bro

Gladly if it was help you. Because I dont tested yet on WP.
This is small explain what regex function mean. The part of regex "[/]{1}" is mean result array explode from your url.
So if you wants to use for multi string "/" from your url, you just change number instead of regex.

$string = 'hxxp://domain.com/abcd/def/?q=1&type=doc';   
//Regex function is
preg_match('@[/]{2}([a-zA-Z0-9]+)@', $_SERVER["PATH_INFO"], $query);

I hope you understand what I mean. Sorry for my bad english.

bad news, PATH_INFO not work in my script.
i get empty string.
PATH_INFO only work if url like this http://mydomain.com/path/file.php/query1/query2
and we will get string with value is after file extension

I guess you need this before using script at above. Place this at the top of header.

header("location: http://example.com".preg_replace('#(.php\??)|[=&]#','/',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));

It will replace your url to become hxxp://domain.com/abcd/q/salad/type/pdf

for redirecting i use internal wordpress function wp-redirect and add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect-function' );

this is not a big problem pmesco.
i have found the way to get variable from request uri.
i want to discus to find the simple way to get complex variable from uri.

my plugins that i use in recipes.cf only 1 file with 6 kb size. it work without touch the htaccess file.

and last night i build full web with this plugins with 3 extra files. with total file size of my plugin less than 12 kb.
installation (upload & activated) only do from wp admin dashboard without touching the htaccess
and this is the web that i build http://index.myonlinedocuments.net
