Restructure php url with slashes using htaccess

Question

i already asked for help for the same problem same weeks ago but didnt really got a working solution, so i am doing another try to fix it.

So i have a url look like

website.com/proj1/post.php?id=130

but i want to restructure the url to look like

 website.com/proj1/post/130

And after discussion, a guy suggested to use following htaccess rules

RewriteEngine on

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

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/proj1/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ $1.php?id=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/proj1/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+?)/?$ $1.php [L]

He said that it worked in his environment, but i didnt manage to get work on xampp or my real server ?

can you confirm that the code works ? and do you have any idea why it might not work for me?

Just for the record, i have have placed the htaccess files in the folder "proj1", so it not under the root.

Answer 1

Your rewriteRule doesnt look right as you are using wrong backrefrences and RewriteConds. You can use the following rule in proj1/.htaccess

RewriteEngine on


RewriteRule ^post/([^/.]+)/?$ /proj1/post.php?id=$1 [L]

Answer 2

If you have a fixed path prefix of /proj1/post , it's enough to capture the number and use that number in the substitution

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^post/(.+)$ /proj1/post.php?id=$1 [L]

If both post and the number are variable, you must capture each part separately

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/(.+)$ /proj1/$1.php?id=$2 [L]
