If I do it by typing /?id=some_text in url then index.php script works as it shuld but if I do /some_text then index.php always receives id to have value ‘index’.

At first I had RewriteRule ^([^/]+) ?id=$1 but that returned ‘Internal Server Error’ instead web page, then I changed it to RewriteRule ^([a-z]+) index.php?id=$1 and I stoped reciving error page but script started to receive ‘index’ as value no matter what i typed in

This rule worked on local machine using MAMP, but when I uploaded it on server it stoped working.

.htaccess file for this folder only contains this rule

RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^([^/]+) ?id=$1

  1. I believe it was probably trying to recurse through index.php since it appears to match the rule.

    Try:

    RewriteEngine On RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_URI}  !index RewriteRule ^([^/]+) index.php?id=$1 [L]

    The RewriteCond is to ensure it doesn’t apply the rule to the results of itself. And [L] is to make sure it doesn’t try applying any other rule.
