.htaccess not working (previously it was working)

[ali_kiyani]

Hi,

 

I have the following file structure

 

/.htaccess
/index.php
/displaypage.php

 

All files are on root.

 

I have following written in .htaccess file

 

Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)$ displaypage.php?page=$1 [NC,L]

 

I have following written in displaypage.php

 

echo $_GET["page"];

 

Now when I run http://localhost/ then it shows index.php page which is correct. If I run http://localhost/something then it shows a blank page. Previously it used to display that "page" variable on screen. mod_rewrite is enabled and I am using Windows with XAMPP.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks

Blank php pages are usually the result of a fatal php parse error on the page.

 

Have you tested displaypage.php by browsing directly to it and do you have error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON in your master php.ini so that all php detected errors will be reported and displayed?

This did the trick. I browsed it directly and it was same blank page. Went to code and saw that I am missing "php" between these  <?php echo....?>

Problem solved. Many thanks!
