rewrite only subfolder not files

Question

What I want to achieve is build urls like /profile1 /profile2 ...etc. which rewrites to profile.php?id=profile1

The code I am using currently is

RewriteRule  ^(.+)$              profile.php?p=$1    [NC,QSA,L]

It works as expected but problem is It also rewrites for urls like /sp.php?e=mybids

Those Urls are also redirected to profile.php, which I don't want it to happen.

Any help?

Answer 1

RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ profile.php?p=$1 [NC,QSA,L]

Answer 2

You can check if the file does not exist, then redirect to profile.php:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /profile.php?p=$1 [R=301,L]

Good luck
