Question

I have a webpage, which url looks like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/folder/index.php?title=The_title

The only problem is that I want it to look like one of these:

http://www.mydomain.com/folder/The_title

http://www.mydomain.com/folder/The_title.php

I have searched most of a lot and found one solution, which “works”:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /folder/index.php?title=$1 [L]

It does what it should, except the ending has to be “.html” (or “.kl”, if you like). This solution won’t accept “.php”, which gives me a “500 Internal Server Error”. Same thing happens if I try it without the extension.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention that the .htaccess file lies in the folder and not the root.

Answer 1

So, since I couldn’t get it to work properly I took the challange and started reading about mod_rewrite, which led to the solution:

RewriteRule ^(\w+)/?$ index.php?title=$1 [L]
