.htaccess Help

[Whogister]

I am trying to get my blog links:

blog.php?id=12345

To work using:

blog12345.php

I tried this but it gives me an 500 error.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule blog(.*)\.php$ /blog.php?id=$1

Anyone have any ideas how to get this to work?

Try this:

RewriteRule ^blog(.*)\.php$ blog.php?id=$1

Try this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^blog(.*)\.php$ blog.php?id=$1

You can also replace (.*) with ([0-9]+) to make the rewrite only happen for numerical values.
