working with htaccess rewrite rule

Question

I would like to rewrite the following url:

index.php/variable where variable can be any name such about,contact, etc.

to page/variable or page/variable/ where variable can be any non case-sensitive character.

Essentially the user would access page/variable or page/variable/ which would rewrite the url of the index.php/variable

I have tried the following:

RewriteRule ^page/(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [QSA,L,NC] RewriteRule ^page/(.*)/$ /index.php/$1 [QSA,L,NC]

but that has not been successful.

You can use one rule for both actions:

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^page/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php/$1 [NC,L]

This will internally redirect a url ending with or without a slash to "/index.php/$1"
