The URL in your PHP script would need to be the URL rewrite version of the link, try the below

.htaccess

RewriteRule ^polite/([0-9]+)/?$ get_event_list_3.php?id=$1 [NC,L]

PHP

echo "<td align='center'><a href='polite/".$row['id']."'>" . $row['ename'] . "</a></td>\
";

Thank U SL Reply here

Its working but not satisfaction for my thoughts

http://localhost/polite/events/polite/1 (you suggesting)
TO
http://localhost/polite/events/1 (I would like to get this)

I changed some code


 echo "<td align='center'><a href='".$row['id']."'>" . $row['ename'] . "</a></td>\
";

.htaccess


RewriteRule ^polite/([0-9]+)/?$ get_event_list_3.php?id=$1 [NC,L]

But I changed some code in but I am getting object not found and 404 error

Tried it this way:

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ get_event_list_3.php?id=$1 [NC,L]

my code


echo "<td align='center'><a href='".$row['ename']."'>" . $row['ename'] . "</a></td>\
";

.htaccess


RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)$ get_event_list_3.php?id=$1 [NC,L]

1st of all you should not use any space in URL. I would suggest to use - instaed of space.
For ename change the id in rule like, also consider digits 0-9 :

RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+)$ get_event_list_3.php?ename=$1 [NC,L]

I have added 0-9 to the rule to make it optional and workable.
Also i would suggest to use optional trailing slash in the rule in case some one entered this URL:
localhost/polite/events/Dance/
instead of this:
localhost/polite/events/Dance

So the rule would like:

RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/?$ get_event_list_3.php?ename=$1 [NC,L]

Which will work for both type of urls.

Not working…

these two codes working for single words but not showing space words


RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+)$ get_event_list_3.php?ename=$1 [NC,L]



RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/?$ get_event_list_3.php?ename=$1 [NC,L]

give me any idea please

As i said above, you may be exclude space in your PHP script and use - or other char.
Any how You can change the rule to some thing like:

RewriteRule ^([^/\\.]+)/?$ get_event_list_3.php?ename=$1 [NC,L]

This will work for most of the char, and change the space to %20.
Try it, and let us know.

shek,

The short answer to your question is that you can’t make that redirection because the information is not in the URI that you’re using.

I suggest that you take a look at the mod_rewrite tutorial Article linked in my signature as it’s built from years of answering similar questions in this forum. Pay particular attention to an obscure little section where I recommend NOT using the id in the URI but using the ename. This HAS been implemented for years at http://wilderness-wally.com.
