I want to rewrite URLs as domain.com/page using .htaccess where page is a variable.

I am using the following code for it:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?room_name=$1 [L]

But it isn't working as desired. I think it is making all URLs like domain.com/login or domain.com/register act as the variable page.

How do I rewrite the URL such that the variable page rewrites only for index.php?

Edit: If domain.com/page is not possible, domain.com/room/page is also acceptable.

Edit 2: I have been using the following URL rewrites for this purpose earlier:

RewriteRule ^teen index.php?room_name=teen [L]
RewriteRule ^singles index.php?room_name=singles [L]

But as these pages are supposed to be user generated it is not possible to write for every page. I just want to automate these URL rewrites.

You can use this rule:

RewriteRule ^room/([\w-]+)/?$ index.php?room_name=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

Also if you're using relative URLs for css/js/images then add this just below <head> tag of your page's HTML: <base href="/" /> so that every relative URL is resolved from that base URL and not from the current page's URL.

I have done it but it's not working. Do the PHP include also need to be relative?
Check the URL: chatadda.com/singles & login using guest & then check the URL - chatadda.com/room/singles you will get the issue.
click on Login as guest
check chatadda.com/room/singles even after adding base and fixing all the JS errors, it's still not working
Did you check source code in browser? There is still no base tag
