How to hide get variable name from url

Question

i've used htaccess for something like this

domain.com/bacaberita.php -> domain.com/baca-berita

and i need passing get varible like this

domain.com/bacaberita.php?id=xy0001

how to hide the variable id so the url going to be domain.com/baca-berita/xyz0001

i'm using htacces code

RewriteRule ^baca-berita bacaberita.php
RewriteRule ^baca-berita/(.*) bacaberita.php?id=$1

but it throws id was empty

i've try this code only

RewriteRule ^baca-berita/(.*) bacaberita.php?id=$1

it work but the css and all images file can not called in the page

Your first rule matches baca-berita/xyz0001 already, so it gets rewritten to bacaberita.php. You need to anchor your pattern not only at the beginning, but at the end as well, if you want to avoid that. ^baca-berita$, or ^baca-berita/?$ if you want to allow an optional trailing slash. And in general, you should keep your RewriteRules ordered from more specific to less specific. — C3roe

You want to put some rewrite conditions before your rewrite rules to ignore those asset files.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/assets
RewriteRule ^baca-berita/(.*) bacaberita.php?id=$1

This tells the server to check that the files or directories exist, then to ignore them in the rewrite if in those directories.

Update

You also want to make sure your assets inside bacaberita.php are linked from the root of the site and not relatively. You can do this by ensuring you always use a / at the beginning:

<!-- incorrect: looks for styles in domain.com/bacaberita/assets -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/styles.css">

<!-- correct: looks for styles in domain.com/assets -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/assets/css/styles.css">
