how to redirect multi parameter url using htaccess

Question

My old url is

http://www.tuitionok.com/result.php?sr=0&city=patna&text=computer+home+tuition+in+patna&type=home-tuition#t

and new url is

http://www.tuitionok.com/patna/home-tuition/computer-home-tuition-in-patna/0

I am trying to forward the old url to new

I am using this .htaccess code

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ result.php?city=$1&type=$2&text=$3&sr=$4 [L]

I am successfully get the parameter values and displaying the result. But the actual problem is that both old and new url is working. I think my htaccess file should be modified to redirect url forcely to the new url.

Try this:

Options +FollowSymLinks -Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ result.php?city=$1&type=$2&text=$3&sr=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ result.php?city=$1&type=$2&text=$3&sr=$4 [L]
