htaccess regex rewrite

Question

I'm trying to change this:

/news/index.php?id=101&title=this-is-a-very-long-title

to this:

/news/this-is-a-very-long-title/

with htaccess rewrite rule. Any idea how?

I have tried:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteRule ^.+/news/index.php?title=$1 [NC,L,R]

@Nightfirecat:Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^.+/news/index.php?title=$1 [NC,L,R] — user2002495

I think this is what you need:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !index\.php   [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*/([^/]+)/?   news/index.php?id=101&title=$1  [L,NC]

Maps silently

http://example.com/news/this-is-a-very-long-title/ with or without trailing slash

To:

http://example.com/news/index.php?id=101&title=this-is-a-very-long-title

In your rule the string id=101& is not present in the substitution URL, so remove it from the rewrite rule if it is not needed.

For permanent and visible redirection, replace [L,NC] with [R=301,L,NC].

thanks, but what I need is actually the reverse of that. What i want is to map example.com/news/… to example.com/news/this-is-a-very-long-title. I will try your solution to do the reverse.
