Configuration for page redirect

I have WAMP installed, and a project at in E:/wamp/www/project/index.php Links from index.php redirect to show.php I am using the below .htaccess script to be able to make URL in show.php appear as /article-title instead of what it normally does i.e show.php?id=xxx

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule  (.*)$ show.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

But, the above .htaccess file which is found in project/ along side the index/show page does not seem to work. It does not even show me the project folder, when I go to www/

I don't know where the problem is, and rewrite-module is on

Given that your article URL is like this:

http://localhost/project/1122-some-title-comes-here

You can use this rule:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^project/(\d+)-([\w-]+)/?$ /project/show.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

If you want your articles from the root folder like this:

http://localhost/1122-some-title-comes-here

You can change the above to:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(\d+)-([\w-]+)/?$ /project/show.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

The above conditions means, if folder, files and symbolic links are false, rewrite it. The rule itself ^(\d+)-([\w-]+)/?$ if it start with digits and a dash and contains additional alphanumeric characters and dash and end or not with / internally redirect to:

/project/show.php?id=$1

The $1 means to pass the result of the parenthesis from the rule to the id which is (\d+) which in our URL example would mean the number 1122.
