Set language using htaccess URLrewrite - .htaccess

I have for example two files in my root directory: one.php and two.php. I would like to reach them through these urls without having to actually have the physical directories en+de.
mydomain.com/en/one
mydomain.com/en/two
mydomain.com/de/one
mydomain.com/de/two
So the first directory would be "ignored" and just pass a GET variable with the language setting to the php-file, second directory is the php-file without extension.
This is what I'm using in my htaccess to loose the file extension so far:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
UPDATE/SOLUTION
This is quite useful: .htaccess rule for language detection
and this seems to pretty much do what I wanted:
RewriteRule ^(en|de|fr)/(.*)$ $2?lang=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1?lang=en [L,QSA]
ONE MORE ADDITIONAL QUESTION
For mydomain.com/en/one/id45
If I wanna pass id45 as a variable to one.php what line in htaccess do I have to add?

You can try this rule:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
DirectorySlash On
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$2.php -f
RewriteRule ^(en|de|fr)/([^/]+)(?:/(.*)|)$ $2.php?lang=$1&var=$3 [L,QSA,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/?$ index.php?lang=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ $1?lang=en [L,QSA]

Double RewriteRule on .htaccess

I did a php blog and I would like to have friendly SEO urls for my posts, and also remove .php extension from my urls. So I edited my htaccess file like this :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ viewpost.php?id=$1 [N]
#second condition and rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
So I got my friendly SEO post urls but the second condition doesn't work. But it works when I use it as my first condition. What I did wrong ? Thanks a lot for your help
Keep first rule as .php handler rule but that should check for presence of .php file as below:
RewriteEngine On
# if not a directory and file.php exists then rewrite file to file.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
# rewrite every non-file or non-directory to viewpost.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ viewpost.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

Redirect to other location

I have the current setup where my file system looks like this
/var/www/blog.example.com/v1/project.php
To access project.php you go to blog.example.com/project, now I've also added a GET which is a title.
Instead of going to blog.example.com/project?title=This Title I want it to be something like blog.example.com/project/This Title
How may I accomplish that setup? Current .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^project/(.*)$ v1/project.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(v1)/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:BASE}v1/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule !.*\.php$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php [QSA,L]
Have it like this:
# turn off MultiViews to avoid conflicts
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# handle /project/abcd URI
RewriteRule ^project/([^/]+)/?$ v1/project.php?title=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
# add .php extension intrnally
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/v1/$1\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ v1/$1.php [L]
# forward everything to v1/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(?!v1/)(.*)$ v1/$1 [L,NC]
Try it like this,
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)$ v1/$1.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php !-d
RewriteRule ^project/([\w-]+)$ v1/project.php?title=$1 [QSA,L]

when using htaccess all the internal links are changed

i want to change my website urls exemple www.mysite.com/about.php to www.mysite.com/about/
i'm using this code in my htaccess file
# Apache Rewrite Rules
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Add trailing slash to url
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/|#(.*))$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [R=301,L]
# Remove .php-extension from url
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.php
# End of Apache Rewrite Rules
</IfModule>
i tried this one too
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
it works but all the page content becomes inside the /about/ its like i created a folder that does not exist so all the internal links are changed , if i have a link to post.php it goes to /about/post.php
all the included pages are not working too such as css and images
sorry my english isn't so good .
i finally found what i wanted ,i used this meta tag in the header section
`<base href="http://localhost/mysite/" />`
now everything works
ps: don't use localehost on webhost

Setting up an htaccess file

I'm in the process of rebuilding a site and want to set it up as follows:
1 ) Pages other than index.html e.g. www.website.co.uk/support/web-design.html becomes www.website.co.uk/support/web-design/
2) Pages that aren't in subfolders e.g. www.website.co.uk/contact.html becomes www.website.co.uk/contact/
I know I should use a .htaccess file. I've looked various sites explaining htaccess and mod_rewrite but need help. Can anyone explain how this should this be setup to achieve the above?
Thanks
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+([^\?]+)\.html
RewriteCond %1 !^index$
RewriteRule ^ /%1/ [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1.html [L]
These rules would go in the htaccess file in your document root
You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L,NC]
# To internally forward /dir/file to /dir/file.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.html -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1.html [L]

.htaccess single variable url rewrite

I am trying to redirect http://test.pearlsquirrel.com/explore_all?u=hiphop to http://test.pearlsquirrel.com/explore_all/hiphop using htaccess. However, It keeps redirecting here: http://test.pearlsquirrel.com/explore_all/?u=site_error.php. I have looked all over Stackoverflow for the answer but I just can't seem to find it. I would really appreciate some help in fixing this problem, thanks!
Here is my .htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.pearlsquirrel.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://pearlsquirrel.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+) explore_all?u=$1 [L]
You may try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} [^=]+=([^=]+)
RewriteRule .* /%1? [L]
Will map this:
http://test.pearlsquirrel.com/explore_all?u=hiphop
To this:
http://test.pearlsquirrel.com/explore_all/hiphop
Replace the corresponding code in your .htaccess file with this one.
I have not checked the rules in your .htaccess file.
OPTION
Now, if it is the other way around, which I think it is, and the idea is to map this incoming URL:
http://test.pearlsquirrel.com/explore_all/hiphop
To this resource:
http://test.pearlsquirrel.com/explore_all?u=hiphop
Replace the above rule set with this one:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*/([^/]+)/?
RewriteRule .* http://test.pearlsquirrel.com/explore_all?u=%1 [L]
