Can not access query string in .htaccess?

Question

For some reason I cant access the query value only for the internal rewrite in .htaccess?

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteBase /

##external redirect
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test/user-profile/%1? [R=301,L]

#internal rewrite
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ /test/user-profile.php?id=$3 [L]

Here is the entire htaccess file. Its redirecting the url perfectly, just cant get the id value by itself? Thank you

This is because you use id= in your rewrite, and you are redirecting the 2nd (/test/user-profile.php?id=N) to the first (/test/user-profile/N)

Change the first:

##external redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/user-profile\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^ /test/user-profile/%1? [R=301,L]

So this does grab the query variable, but now it wont redirect the URL to /test/user-profile/3

That don't change correct rewrite, only with user-profile.php

So im attempting to rewrite www.example.com/test/user-profile?id=3 into www.example.com/test/user-profile/3 with the also the ability to use GET['id']. Are you able to help? thank you for your time

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test/user-profile.php?id=$1 [L] keeps saying the query is id=test/user-profile/7

@BlakePrice Where did you get that rule from? It's not mentioned in the question, or the above answer?
