How to rewrite folder to file

I am attempting to make a rewrite rule to map a prettified URI folder path to an ugly one.

The URI I am trying to map: 

/project/IDHERE/TITLEHERE{optional) to 
/project.php?pid=id&pttl=title

with

RewriteRule ^project/(.*)/$(.*)?/$ project.php?pid=$1&pttl=$2

however when I try and use this rule, the sever throws a 500 server error message. Apache Rewrite docs are rather painfully confusing (not sure if I'm alone in thinking this).

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm assuming it's because you have two end of pattern identifiers... i.e. the "$"

Maybe try, disclaimer: (UNTESTED)

RewriteRule project/([^/]*)(?:/([^/]*))?/$ project.php?pid=$1&pttl=$2

And to state the obvious make sure

RewriteEngine On

Has been stated.

The above example also REQUIRES a trailing slash. You could have the trailing slash optional using the following:

RewriteRule project/([^/]*)(?:/([^/]*))?/?$ project.php?pid=$1&pttl=$2
