I’m just going to explain my problem here :

http://mysite.com/movie/20000

should be rewritten to

http://mysite.com/movie.php?id=20000

my htaccess file : 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^movie/([0-9]+)$ movie.php?id=$1

On my localhost WAMP installation this works fine, but when I put it online on my linux host it doesn’t completely work. It does go to the movie.php page, but it seems it gives no GET parameter id.

Edit :

if I use 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^movie([0-9]+)$ movie.php?id=$1

then 

http://mysite.com/movie20000

Goes to the correct page, but I would like /movie/20000 and not just /movie20000

It also seems that my host automatically rewrites a visit to mysite.com/movie to mysite.com/movie.php

    After searching for a long time, and pulling some of my lovely hair out I found the solution.

    I just added 

    Options -MultiViews

    to my htaccess file and that fixed it.

    Why? Because .php was being added to urls without an extension, which I really did not need.
