Creating Static Links Using .htaccess

Question

I am new to .htaccess

I have created many links which open up pages based on a search result. The link addresses are, each link has a different prid such as 3110, 3111, 3222

http://mywebsite.com/prid-3110/1500-Sq-Ft-Residential-Plot-for-Sale-In-Arya-Shine-City-Irba-Ranchi-For-Rs-9.75-Lakh

I want this link to point to (ignore everything after the second slash)

 http://mywebsite.com/prid-3110/

My Current .htaccess rule is

RewriteRule ^prid-([0-9]+)$ views/propertyview.php?property_id=$1

The correct answer is working below

And add this the following so everything else like CSS, Images work because your browser will know from where to start looking for files.

<head> <base href="../"> </head>

That dollar sign looks misplaced. You don't want your match to terminate on a digit. — Captain Giraffe, Sep 24 '17 at 00:51

You can use:

RewriteRule ^prid-(\d+)(?:/|$) views/propertyview.php?property_id=$1 [NC,L]

With (?:/|$) you avoid prid-3110blabla, but you can use only:

RewriteRule ^prid-(\d+) views/propertyview.php?property_id=$1 [NC,L]

without this test.
