Wamp url rewrite issue

Your original RewriteRule is not being met. You can achieve this using {QUERY_STRING} instead:

RewirteEngine On RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} loc=(.+)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /names-in/%1 [R=301,L,QSD] 

Then to internally rewrite the URL:

RewriteRule ^/names-in/([^/]*) /names-in.php?loc=$1 [L] 

Make sure you clear your cache before testing this. This is using R=301 which is a permanent redirection, I advise you change this to R=302 while testing, as this is temporary.

I've also added ? onto the end of the rewritten URL. This is to stop the original query appearing on the end of the URL.

Try this

Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^names-in/(\d+)*$ ./names-in.php?loc=$1 #RewriteRule ^names-in/(.*)$ ./names.php.php?loc=$1
