: Mod_rewrite with .htaccess to make dynamic page search engine friendly I am trying to make search engine friendly pages with .htaccess. The page look like /en/hotel.php?id=nice-hotel-7-patterson-street

Your expression is incorrect. Since / is missing from the first part of the expression, it will not match anything which is in a sub-directory. Since the last expression requires there to be numbers at the end, it would work with URL that end in letters as per your examples.

You must generalize your expression, something like this:

RewriteRule ^en/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ hotel.php?id=


Now if you have multiple directories, you have to match that and pass it on somewhere different. If you have one hotel.php file in each directory use the first line below, if you have only one in all, use the second line where the directory is passed as another parameter, so that you can output different contents.

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ /hotel.php?id=

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ hotel.php?id=&lang=
