php - Wrong $_GET params using MOD rewrite -

i trying make url more friendly, domain/link/link.php?id=123 domain/link/123

i have written following rule:

rewriteengine on rewriterule ^([^/]*)$ link.php?id=$1 [l] 

it on .htaccess in /link folder.

in link.php file have:

echo $_get['id']; 

but result "link.php" without quotes, instead of number or string.

what doing wrong?

you have specified last rule using l flag, rewritten url requested, rewritten again.

there 2 possible solutions:

1. check if file exists , rewrite if not;
2. restrict rewriting rules looks numbers.

an example of first option:

rewriteengine on  rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewriterule ^([^/]+)$ link.php?id=$1 [l] 

(note have changed * 0 or more + 1 or more)

an example of second option:

rewriteengine on rewriterule ^(\d+)$ link.php?id=$1 [l]               ^^^ 1 or more digits
