.htaccess redirect issue

Question

I am stuck in this .htaccess issue and not able to get a solution. Tried everything but as I am new to htaccess may be the codes are just not matching and it gives me a error.

There is a php file I am working..

This is the result I get now

http://website.com/page.php?url=diploma-in-film-acting

Now I want this to work like this

http://website.com/diploma-in-film-acting

or may be this

http://website.com/diploma-in-film-acting.html

How do I get this to work ???

I have already used this code

I already did this but I get a 404 error when I add this to the url http://website.com/diploma-in-film-acting.html

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+).html$ page.php?url=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+).html/$ page.php?url=$1

Use mod_rewrite of Apache! And in your .htaccess, give this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /page.php?url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

For the directory based rewriting, use this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /page.php?url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /page.phpurl$1&%{QUERY_STRING}

Optionally, if you have any query strings, that will be passed via &%{QUERY_STRING}.
