title: htaccess rewrite rule with PHP GET variables causing 500 internal error
body: <p>I've been attempting this: playerstats.php?player=Notch would result in www.example.com/Notch, yet the problem is every method I try it results in a 500 internal server error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\$ playerstats.php?player=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using NGINX also if thats any concern</p>
