.htaccess, Rewriterule not working as i want - .htaccess

Question

I have this link: http://www.domain.com.mk/lajmi.php?id=2790,
and i want to change it to http://www.domain.com.mk/lajmi/2790
With this code I can change the link to /lajmi/2790 but i get 404 error.
I mean i get the link
http://www.domain.com.mk/lajmi/2790, but it has 404 error (i dont se the content)
This is my code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com\.mk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com\.mk$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^lajmi\.php$ http://domain.com.mk/lajmi/%1? [R=302,L]
What I am doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Try this one :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com\.mk$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(\d*)$
RewriteRule ^lajmi\.php$ http://domain.com.mk/lajmi/%1? [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^lajmi/(\d*)$ lajmi.php?id=$1&r=0 [L]
(the &r=0 in the final rule is for not getting an infinite loop)

Answer 2

Single direction rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com\.mk$
RewriteRule ^lajmi/(\d*)$ lajmi.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
This means that every uri of kind /lajmi/2790 will be passed to /lajmi.php?id=2790 in a sub-request.
However, in this case, if the user hits /lajmi.php?id=2790 by himself, then this is the url he will see in the browser, not the "beautified one".
Bi-directional rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
; Redirect lajmi.php?id=2790 to a beutified version, but only if not in sub-request!
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com\.mk$
RewriteCond %{IS_SUBREQ} !=true
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(\d*)$
RewriteRule ^lajmi\.php$ lajmi/%1 [R=301,L]
; Make the beutified uri be actually served by lajmi.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com\.mk$
RewriteRule ^lajmi/(\d*)$ lajmi.php?id=$1 [L]
Here, an additional RewriteCond was added to the first rule checking that this is not a sub-request, to ensure that the rules do not loop.
You can pick which way you like, but the first approach is enough if you build the links in your HTML in the 'beautified' way already (no need to redirect the browser twice just to see the page).
