mod_rewrite looking for the wrong file

[mfhJoe]

Hi
This seems like a simple problem but the only bit of mod_rewrite I know I learned from here. I've got a slightly more complex problem now, I need to rewrite:

Code: Select all

http://domain.com/proj/app/file.php?profile=1

to

Code: Select all

http://domain.com/proj/app/file/profile/1/

I already have the code to rewrite file.php to file/ when there is no query string, but I'm struggling with the query string on the end. I'm using the following code:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ file.php?profile=$1 [QSA,L]

But it gives this error in the Apache log:

Code: Select all

File does not exist: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/proj/app/file

I understand why I'm getting the error (it should be /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/proj/app/file.php) but I don't know how I can code it to add .php to the end.

Sorry if this is a confusing description but this is hard to explain. I'd be happy to provide any further info about this if needed.

Cheers
Joe
