多个文件名的RewriteRule

Question

I was always using the next:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ page.php?name=category&type=$1 [L]

to rewrite my links. I used only ONE file name "page.php", and it worked. Today, I want to add another file "project.php", and need another RewriteRule for it, and this is the full code I'm trying to use in .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ page.php?name=category&type=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/$ project.php?category=$1&id=$4&type=$2&name=$3 [L]

But, it work only for the first path, and messes the second. Please, can anyone help to figure it out? I've tried to search for it for a while, but couldn't find a solution. Many thanks in advance!

As Jonathan Kuhn said (.*) read all chars so put project.php rule as first and use at least ([^/]+) in place of (.*) in that rule. ([^/]+) read one or more chars except / .
