Get id (category or business) from url after mod rewrite and assign into variable in php

Question

The actual URL's are like - /category.php?id=2 and /product.php?id=56 . I applied the following rules in my htaccess file -

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule   ^.+/p/([0-9]+)   product.php?id=$1    [NC,L]
RewriteRule   ^.+/c/([0-9]+)   category.php?id=$1    [NC,L]

And i am getting the following url patterns -

/c/2 and `/p/56`

Upto this it is fine Previously i could get the ID's of category and product from like ?id= 2 by GET method. But get method will not work after rewrite. How can i get the ID's also the page type (category,products)?

For product `http://example.com/product-permalink/p/id` for category `http://example.com/category-permalink/p/id` — Tanjima Tani, Nov 04 '15 at 19:06

Try this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule   ^.+/p/([0-9]+)   product.php?id=$1    [QSA,L]
RewriteRule   ^.+/c/([0-9]+)   category.php?id=$1    [QSA,L]

QSA means that if there's a query string passed with the original URL, it will be appended to the rewrite.

L means if the rule matches, don't process any more RewriteRules below this one.

So with this i can catch strings by GET method? – Tanjima Tani Nov 04 '15 at 18:58
But what should i write on the link ref of the category in previous page? Should it be written as `category.php?id=2` or `/c/53` ? If the second one then actually it is not passing any id right? – Tanjima Tani Nov 04 '15 at 19:02
@TanjimaTani use `/c/53` – Devendra Singh Bhandari Nov 04 '15 at 19:07
Ok. then what should be the index of `$_GET['']` as the href didn't send any index? – Tanjima Tani Nov 04 '15 at 19:09
