My .htaccess file looks like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^articles/(\d+)*$ ./articles.php?id=$1

So, if the URL foo.com/articles/123 is requested, control is transferred to articles.php?id=123.

However, if the requested URL is:

foo.com/articles/123/

or 

foo.com/articles/123/whatever

I get a “404 Not Found” response.

I would like to call articles.php?id=123 in all these cases. So, if the URL starts with foo.com/articles/[digits]... no matter what other characters follow the digits, I would like to execute articles.php?id=[digits]. (The rest of the URL is discarded.)

How do I have to change the regular expression in order to achieve this?

    RewriteRule ^articles/(\d+) ./articles.php?id=$1
