URL Rewrite - $_GET variable not passing through

Question

I have a simple rewrite that changes ``` http://website.com/page.php?id=1 ``` into ``` http://website.com/page/1 ``` using the following rewrite ``` RewriteRule ^page/(\d+)/?$ /page.php?id=$1 [L] ``` The rewrite works, it displays the page (i don't get a 404), but it doesn't appear to be passing through the id from the URL. To test this I basically echoed the $_GET['id'] and nothing was returned. Does anyone know why I might be going wrong? Many thanks

Accepted Answer

This is most likely due to enabling of `MultiViews` which runs before `mod_rewrite` and rewrites `/page to /page.php`.

Add this line on top of your .htaccess to disable it:

```
Options -MultiViews
```
