clean url with htaccess not working - .htaccess

I'm trying to 'clean up' my urls from looking like this
http://www.smokescreencreative.co.uk/index.php?pid=graphicdesign
to looking like this
http://www.smokescreencreative.co.uk/graphicdesign
I have tried using htaccess but I can't get it to work, any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.
htaccess code that i've tried is below (the first line is what was already in the file as put there by my web host)
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/(\w+)*$ ./index.php?pid=$1
I have also tried variations where I remove the / from after the ^, the ./ from before index, the . from before index and the * from before $ but none of these variations seem to make a difference.
Thanks for your helps guys!

Make sure your links on are in the from like this
http://www.smokescreencreative.co.uk/graphicdesign
And use this code in your .htaccess.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?pid=$1 [L]

.htaccess Rewrite Rule Understanding Problems

Site Structure
/articles/Employment/Companies.php
/articles/Employment/Companies/.htaccess
/articles/Employment/Companies/index.php
.htaccess file reads
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ index.php [L]
So when you go to
/articles/Employment/Companies/[company type]
It is displaying the index.php page.
The Problem
I'm trying to link to
/articles/Employment/Companies.php
without the .php being displayed, however if I link to
/articles/Employment/Companies
it is going to
/articles/Employment/Companies/
What i'm Ideally Looking For
Understand why I my site is adding the / when linking to folder/hello
to strip out all .php so if you go to /hello it'll display /hello.php apart from in certain directories such as my current .htaccess file is located where /this or /that will display /index.php.
Please try with below, use from rewritecond with your existing rule what I am doing if the request is actually for php file which is not index.php then serve the extension less code.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule !index.php$ $1.php [L]

URL rewriting breaks when index.php?url=index (parameter is "index"). Why?

Weird issue: I'm using this .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
to get these URLs. Works perfectly.
http://www.example.com/cool/url
Problem
But when the ?url-parameter has the word index in it, like in
http://www.example.com/index/page
then $_GET["url"] is empty. I think my RewriteRule is broken (despite i've seen exactly this RewriteRule in lots of tutorials) and the removing of index.php from the URL also removes the index-parameter.
Question
How to fix, how to make URLs like index/page possible ?
This is due to MultiViews option.
Add this line on top of your .htaccess file to disable MultiViews:
Options -MultiViews

Htaccess /imagename/delete

Okay so i'm working on creating a thing to delete images from my server. I figured out about the unlink function and have turned it into a get variable. How can I use htaccess to delete a file from my server with a url like this example.com/imagename/delete
RewriteRule ^/delete/([^/]+)$ index.php?delete=$1
I realized that this does /delete/imagename but I want the urls to be /imagename/delete. I tried the following but that didn't work.
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)$/delete index.php?delete=$1
I know this sounds simple and easy to find on the web but I can't seem to find this!
Change your rules to
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/delete/?$ index.php?delete=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*[^.]+)$ /$1.png [L]

Htaccess Mod Rewrite issue

I want the following url:
http://localhost/new/post?url=sample-post-one
to Look Like this via htaccess mod_rewrite:
http://localhost/new/post/sample-post-one/
This might be a question asked already or a similar one but I have been trying to figure it out since a couple of hours and did not get to a solution.
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
Update
Here's what I've tried
<Files .htaccess,.svn> order allow,deny deny from all </Files>
Options +FollowSymlinks
# For Removing .php extension from files
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
# Rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^post/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ post?url=$1 [L]
This should work :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^post/([^/.]+)/?$ post?url=$1 [L]
Or better ...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^post/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ post?url=$1 [L]
By the way, you should have a look to guides like this one.
You can use below code:
http://localhost/new/post?url=sample-post-one
RewriteRule ^post/([0-9]+)/?$ post?url=$1 [NC,L] # Handle post requests
and to get more information you can refer to this
Basically we're capturing the bit for the last folder. The rest can be hard coded. Also you should delete the competing rule. ^ indicates beginning of string. $ is the end of the string. If you use both of those characters everything has to literally match except for the bits where we're using REGEX patterns for matching. Also everything is case sensitive.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^new/post/([^/]+)/?$ new/post?url=$1
If you know that you're only going to allow letters, numbers, periods, and hyphens, then you can do this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^new/post/([^A-Za-z0-9.-]+)/?$ new/post?url=$1
If for some reason you're including new/post and post is really your document root it should look like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^A-Za-z0-9.-]+)/?$ ?url=$1
Apache is a well documented application. They provide an excellent resource with hundreds of examples on their site with explanations of each in the mod_rewrite documentation.

Mod rewrite not working at all (phtml/php)

Having some issues with .htaccess on my website. I'm trying to alter the suffix of the URLs for my website. URLs currently appear as:
www.example.com/about.phtml
I want to remove about.phtml and replace it with about so it looks like:
www.example.com/about
The examples I'm using are not what I need on the website so I would like code that I don't have to go through and specify which specific page to remove it from and rather do it all automatically.
I've tried using php instead of phtml with no luck. Here is the code I am using:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.phtml -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.phtml
Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?
FYI: my host is JustHost and they allow me to edit my .htaccess but if anyone has heard of or had any problems with them please let me know, I spoke to their tech-support who couldn't help me any more than I can help myself.
Try this :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.phtml [NC,L]
This works for me:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?([a-z]+)$ $1.phtml [L]
You can Check first your rewrite mode is on or not in apache\conf\httpd.conf file
check below code in httpd.conf file
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
if hash exist in above the line then remove hash and restart apache server
After then you can set below code in your cakephp httaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.phtml -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.phtml [NC,L]
</IfModule>
