htaccess seo-friendly URL's

Question

I need some help to get friendly URL's on my website.

These are my links i need to rewrite:

www.example.com/index.php?page=pagename
www.example.com/index.php?page=profile&id=number

This is my .htaccess. I solved the issue for the first link, however I can't do it for the second one.

I would like to have for the second link:

www.example.com/profile/name or
www.example.com/profile/id

This is my .htaccess file:

# for www.example.com/index.php?page=profile&id=number
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \?page=([^&]+)&id=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2? [L,R=301]

# for www.example.com/index.php?page=page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \?page=([^&\ ]+)($|\ )
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [L,R=301]

# rewrites back
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([0-9]+)$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]

The code I submitted above solved my problem.

Answer 1

You can use:

# for www.example.com/index.php?page=profile&id=number
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} page=([^&]+)&id=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2? [L,R=301]

# for www.example.com/index.php?page=page
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} page=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [L,R=301]

And for rewrites back

# rewrites back
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([0-9]+)$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
