Repeatedly appended URLs after RewriteRule in .htaccess?

This is my first time re-writing urls to be SEO friendly.

Here's my htaccess rule:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ratings/ ratings.php
RewriteRule regions/ regionlist.php
RewriteRule mobile/ mobile.php

For some reason, when I click the same link twice, the url will append itself in the address bar. Heres a gif image showing this happening:

https://i.sstatic.net/y5hqA.gif

Is this bad? If it is, does anyone know what's wrong ?

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone

Change your RewriteRules to this:

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)$ $1.php

and make sure that your links to be like this:

<a href="/ratings">ratings</a>

but if you need specific rewrites change the location of slash

RewriteRule /ratings ratings.php
RewriteRule /regions regionlist.php
RewriteRule /mobile mobile.php

I think it's not the htaccess which couses trouble here... IMO you take current URL and append clicked item's name. Create the URL from scratch instead.

if you want the rewrite to always be based off the root directory you may want to write your rules with a preceeding "/"(slash)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /ratings ratings.php
RewriteRule /regions regionlist.php
RewriteRule /mobile mobile.php

This should force the rewrite rule to append this to the root url.

Use redirect:

redirect 301 /ratings /ratings.php
