<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

That's because /news/2 creates a virtual directory.
Since you're using relative paths for your html links, it does not work.

Let's imagine you have a css link like this one
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
Since your URI is /news/2 it will search in /news/style.css and that's not what you want.

Instead, use absolute paths.
For example: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style.css"> (with a leading slash, and maybe another base if it's not in root folder).

Also, it wouldn't hurt to put a RewriteBase / in your htaccess (or a leading slash before index.php)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^ /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

EDIT: for your project /project_news/ on localhost

  • You have to change all your html links this way (add /project_news prefix) <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/project_news/css/style.css">
  • Or, if you don't want to change all links, you can also add <base href="/project_news/"> right after <head> html tag (in all your html pages concerned)

Then, replace your current htaccess code by this one

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteBase /project_news/

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
