How rewrite a url slug to a parameter using .htaccess?

Question

I'm looking for the regex url rewriting entries for .htaccess - specifically, I'd like a way to re-write:

/site/this-is-my-slug/

to

/site/?slug=this-is-my-slug

Is this possible?

Try this:

RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ site/?slug=$1 [L,QSA]

The QSA flag will copy over any query string from your original URL request so remove it if you don't want this functionality.
