.htaccess: Rewrite dynamic url with static url

Question

I want to enter http://localhost:81/admin/dashboard in my browser but the request should be http://localhost:81/admin/index.php?page=dashboard .

The mod_rewrite is enabled and i tried this in the .htaccess but it didn't work. The .htaccess is located in htdocs/admin/.htaccess:

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

Answer 1

You can match the trailing slash optionally by adding a ? next to it in the pattern :

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