htaccess rewrite rule for multiple pages

Question

this seems so simple, but it's not working for me. I am trying to have both show.php?id=$1 and producer.php?id=$1 rewrite as friendly URLs. The first one works perfectly, the second does not. If I remove the first, the second works fine.

What am I doing wrong here?

My code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /show.php?id=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /producer.php?id=$1 [L]

</IfModule>

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Your problem is quite simple.

You cannot have more than one rewrite rule for the same directory, you would need to have a separate folder for each IE. have a folder called "show" and have the htaccess file that contains the rewrite data for show.

.htaccess for show folder:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /show.php?id=$1 [L]

</IfModule>

Then have another folder called "producer" with the 2nd rewrite rule.

.htaccess for producer folder:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /producer.php?id=$1 [L]

</IfModule>
