Mod_rewrite help

Hello,

I need some help with my mod_rewrite.

• Note, this is my first time trying to play with .htaccess

I have some rewrite rules in it already, which works fine, looks like this: Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^([\w\d~%.:_-]+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

So when I go to www.mydomain.com/news then it goes to www.mydomain.com/index.php?page=news

what I need more is that, when they go to www.mydomain.com/news/3 then it will go to www.mydomain.com/index.php?page=news&id=3 I’ve tried with this line: RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+) /news.php?id=$1

• but do not work.

Any question is, would it be able to replace id number with the name of the post, like instead of www.mydomain.com/news/3 it will be www.mydomain.com/news/this_is_the_news_title

Thanks
