Getting values in php while using `.htaccess` RewriteEngine Rule

Question

Getting values in php while using .htaccess RewriteEngine Rule

I am using the following rule

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ page.php?title=$1 [L]

It means it will create a page like view

(i.e.,)

www.mywebsite.com/contact

www.mywebsite.com/blog

But how can i get values that is passed in the url and display it inside the page using Get method echo "Page content is ".$_GET['title'];

While i pass the value in the url like www.mywebsite.com/view,

It is just displaying > Page content is page.php

What mistake i am doing and how can i fix this ?

Some urls that don't need to be rewritten are getting rewritten. You probably want to change your rule like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ page.php?title=$1 [L]

The [^/.] ensures that there is no dot in the path
The + ensures that there is at least one character
The /? allows an optional trailing slash
