.htaccess settings for osCommerce 2.2 on LAMP Architecture

Last week, we had project where we have to install and customize the new osCommerce 2.2rc2a on one of our client server having php5 and apache 2.2

The problem here is that the apache 2.2 by default does not takes the long arrays that is $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS

So, in order to run the osCommerce on the apache2.2 and php 5.0, we did a lot of googling, this is could be helpful to others to integrate osCommerce 2.2 on apache 2.2 with php5, we just need to add or update the .htaccess file with the following information.
