RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /(story)\.php\?id=(\d+)&(\S+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^story\.php$ /%1/%2?%3 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^(story)/(\d+)/?$ /$1.php?id=$2 [L,QSA]

The above rules should work as needed.

i tried this but it shows " The requested URL /story.php was not found on this server." and i have tested this in "htaccess.madewithlove.be" it shows error "RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /(story)\.php\?id=(\d+)&(\S+) [NC] This variable is not supported: %{THE_REQUEST}". please help.

@ghost Provide the directory structure. Where is the story.php file located? Where are you putting the htaccess file ?

both htaccess and story.php are in root directory.

@ghost if the error shown is "The requested URL /story.php was not found on this server", then at least story.php is not in the root directory.
