complex rewrite rule for mod rewrite

Hello Experts,
i´m really confused on writing a mod rewrite rule for my webpage runing on Apache Webserver. I have never done this befor and don´t know how to start. I only know how to make the .htaccess file and set the rule but don´t know how to write the rule.

i have a php script which need several params the link to a site look like:

index.php?id=1&city=Berlin&country=DE&zip=01234&uk=50&ed=today
or
index.php?id=1&city=Berlin&country=DE&zip=01234&uk=50&ed=tommorrow
or
index.php?id=1&city=Berlin&country=DE&zip=01234&uk=50&ed=20081023&page=3

The arrangement of the params can be different and params can be missing.

for example:
index.php?id=1&country=DE&zip=01234&city=Berlin&uk=50&ed=20081023
or
index.php?id=1&zip=01234&city=Berlin

how to write a rewrite rule that will give the following result?

mypage/Country-Zip-Cityname/20081023/index.html
or
mypage/Country-Zip-Cityname/today/index.html
or
mypage/Country-Zip-Cityname/today/page_1.html

what happens if the country or zip param is not set?

assuming that you mean the value from the parameter for the literals "Country", "Zip" and so on, what should be the value if the parameter is missing as in
> index.php?id=1&zip=01234&city=Berlin

What happens to the id= parameter

ASKER

the id=1 is the default param. if you enter the site the id param is not set. If the id param is set it should look like mypage/Country-Zip-Cityname/20081023/1_index.html.

Also when i enter mypage/Cityname
the url should look like index.php?city=Berlin

is this possible with mod_rewrite
