Unable to solve .htaccess url rewriterule, gives 404 for all pages

I want to show URL like below examples:

1) http://www.domainname.com/detail/name/123.html

2) http://www.domainname.com/detail/124.html

In both URLs I want to show if "name" exist then want to display URL with "name" otherwise without "name".

1) RewriteRule ^detail/(.*).html$ detail.php?id=$1 [QSA]
2) RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)/(.*).html$ detail.php?id=$2 [QSA]

First rule is working file without "name". Second rule is not working and gives 404 for all pages.

Thanks in Advance.

The problem you are having, is that the first rule matches both your first and second case. Obviously when id is name/123 your application can't handle it. What you want to do is limiting the characters to non-slash characters. After all, that means it can only match the last path segment. Besides that, force yourself to always escape literal dots in a regex. A dot matches pretty much anything if you don't do that...

RewriteRule ^detail/([^/]+)\.html$ detail.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^detail/[^/]+/([^/]+)\.html$ detail.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

You can use just one rule to handle both cases:

RewriteRule ^detail/(?:[^/]+/)?([^./]+)\.html$ detail.php?id=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
