I've been stuck on this forever. In order to change localhost/article.php?id=bryan to simply localhost/article/bryan or even localhost/bryan whatexact .htaccess code should I use?
Thanks guys, really appreciate all the help!

You can use this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^article/([^/]*)$ /article.php?id=$1 [L]
This will re-write localhost/article.php?id=bryan to http://localhost/article/bryan
Or you can use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /article.php?id=$1 [L]
This will re-write localhost/article.php?id=bryan to http://localhost/bryan

This still doesn't work since when I type in localhost/article/bryan it is giving me an internal server error.

Have you got re-write rules turned on? Your Apache configuration may not allow re-write rules. In your Apache config use the change the setting
AllowOverride to AllowOverride allVimzy
Yes, I've got everything turned on since I wrote code earlier to negate .php extensions.

What type of server are you using? Can you post the HTTP server log? I have tested the RewriteRule at htaccess tester and it seems to work pretty well.

I have tested the RewriteRule on my Apache server and it works fine. Maybe you have not enabled mod_write?
