mod rewrite not working in .htaccess

I am trying to write rewriterule for php site.

My URL is like http://example.com/attorneys?pid=69

I write in .htacess as below:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^attorneys/([0-9]+)/?$ attorneys&pid=$1 [NC,L]

Both the link example.com/attorneys?pid=69 and example.com/attorneys/69 works.

How can I make the browser know that if it get the first link it have to show the second one in browser.

This appears to be a simple ask. Try this code in your .htaccess file under DOCUMENT_ROOT (and comment out your existing code):

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=5

RewriteRule ^(attorneys)/([^/]+)/?$ $1?pid=$2 [NC,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pid=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(attorneys)/?$ /$1/%1? [NC,L,R=301]

So you want to redirect http://xyz.com/attorneys?pid=69 to http://xyz.com/attorneys/69? Another rule after(!) the first rule should do the trick:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^attorneys/([0-9]+)/?$ attorneys&pid=$1 [NC,L] 
RewriteRule ^attorneys&pid=([0-9]+)$ attorneys/$1 [NC,L,R=301]

Because the first rule is marked with the L flag, the second won't be executed if the first matches. (See the documentation of mod_rewrite flags here.)

First, I need to say you there is no need to do that. Anyway, I was forced to do it in the past for a SEO-maniac client. I tell you, that's not an elegant solution!

On top of the attorneys PHP page (I don't know if it's a directory with index.php or not, but you know it) add this code:

    // Get request script
    $request = preg_split('/[\\/?&]/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    $request_script = $request[1];

    // Check old URL
    if ($request_script == 'attorneys') {

        // Redirect
        header('Location: /attorneys/' . $_GET['id'];
        exit();

    }

Maybe it's not exactly like this for your case, but I hope you get the mechanism.
