URL rewrite with .htaccess is not working at xampp

Question

My current url is

• http://localhost/b2b/post.php?postid=15

I want to display my url as

• http://localhost/b2b/post/15 ,or
• http://localhost/b2b/[title_of_postid_number]

I use the following code but it not woking

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^post/(.*) /post.php?postid=$1

Answer 1

I think it's because the rewrite engine is look for:

• [http://localhost/post/*]

Instead of looking for:

• [http://localhost/b2b/post/*]

Try adding:

RewriteBase /b2b/

before the RewriteRule.

Answer 2

Remove the / before post.php? . So your code should be:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^post/(.*) post.php?postid=$1
