title: URL Change .htaccess Code Not Working
body: <p>I want to change:</p>
  
  <pre><code>localhost/article.php?id=bryan
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To simply:</p>
  
  <pre><code>localhost/article/bryan
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And if it's something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>localhost/article.php?id=Mark%20Henry%20is%20Drawing
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need that to change that to just:</p>
  
  <pre><code>localhost/article/mark-henry-drawing
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>A fellow here gave me this code to use: </p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule ^article/([^/]*)$ /article.php?id=$1 [L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Everyone is saying that this should do the trick, but I'm still getting internal server errors every time I type in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>localhost/article/bryan
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using WAMP server if that helps at all, the following code is my entire <code>.htaccess</code> file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Options +FollowSymLinks
  RewriteEngine On
  
  # Removes the .php extension from pages
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]
  
  # Cleans up the PHP URL of all pages on website
  RewriteRule ^article/([^/]*)$ /article.php?id=$1 [L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't know what else to try.</p>
