.htaccess rewrite GET parameter

Question

I would like to change my URL from site.com/functions/analyze.php?password=test to site.com/functions/analyze/password/test . I am using a .htaccess rewrite rule in attempt to achieve this.

However, upon browsing to my /functions/analyze/password/test I can see that the GET parameter being passed is test.php/password/test and not test .

Where am I going wrong?

# Enable editing.
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

# Hide PHP extenstion.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

# Reroutes for GET.
RewriteRule ^(functions/analyze)/(password)/(.+)$ $1.php?$2=$3 [L,NC,QSA]

Answer 1

You can have this rule in root .htaccess with MultiViews (content negotiation) turned off:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(functions/analyze)/(password)/(.+)$ $1.php?$2=$3 [L,NC,QSA]

Answer 2

or you can try

 RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^functions/analyze/password/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ /functions/analyze.php?password=$1
