.htaccess url rewriting not working

I'm using URL Rewriting for a simple note application in my website. All things are UNDER /notes/ directory. .htaccess contents are,

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?filename=$1 [L]

and the url which is to be accessed is,

http://localhost/notes/test.txt

I want to get test.txt as the filename variable's value.

But when I use echo $_GET['filename']; in index.php, it displays index.php instead of displaying test.txt.

here, test.txt is not a real text file but the filename variable's value.

I think the problem is that your "index.php?filename=test.txt" URL is also being processed and rewritten by your rule. You might need to change your .htaccess code to stop references to files that exist being rewritten:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?filename=$1 [L]
