Question

I am attempting to implement a simple Apache mod rewrite and am having an issue with it. The pattern I am providing does not seem to be matching,although from what I can tell it should.

I am placing these rules in my .htaccess file. Here is the file in it’s entirety:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^détails-details-eng.php/([\d]+)/*([\w'-]*)$ détails-details-eng.php?id=$1 [L]
# done for testing
RewriteRule ^mytest/?$ index.php [NC,L]

The functionality I am looking for is, coincidentally similar to how stackoverflow’s urls look. When I browse to

détails-details-eng.php/1/somtext

I go the détails-details-eng.php page but the id of 1 is not being passed(a quick print_r($_GET) confirms). I know mod_rewrite is enabled because going to :

mytest

resolves to index.php as it should.

Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? When I check my regular expression via RegExr
it seems to be what I am looking for. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the rule that you will need:

RewriteRule ^détails-details-eng\.php/([^/]+)/[^/]*/?$ détails-details-eng.php?id=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
