why don't these work when together

[Exoon]

Hello, ive got these two rules and they work fine when there on their own but as soon as i put them together only the one at the top works. How can i have both these rules?

 

RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2& [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&console=$2& [L,NC]

I don't see a difference in the REGEX? There has to be SOME difference

[Exoon]

the difference is one is using id and one is using console.

 

I want it so its like

 

index.php?page=reviews&id=7    goes to >>    /reviews/7/

index.php?page=games-list&console=ps3    goes to >>  /games-list/ps3/

 

but only one of them works. How can i get both working?

[rhodesa]

that isn't how it works though, it's the other way around:

 

/reviews/7/    goes to >>    index.php?page=reviews&id=7

/games-list/ps3/    goes to >>  index.php?page=games-list&console=ps3

 

that being said, both the first and second examples will match the first REGEX. i would switch it to something more generic, like this:

 

RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&topic=$2& [L,NC]

then adjust your reviews code to map $_GET['topic'] to the id and your games-list code to map $_GET['topic'] to the console
