I'm strugling to make this work. At the moment my .htaccess contains the following code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +FollowSymlinks
  # Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

  # Turn on the engine:
  RewriteEngine on

  #RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/?$ product.php?pid=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
  RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ product.php?pid=$1&pname=$2 [L,QSA,NC]
</IfModule>

My Original URL is something linke this

product.php?pid=1&pname=this is a product name

My clean URL should be something like below:

example.com/1/this is a product name

This is how my <a> tag generate by PHP:

$url = "{$pid}/{$pname}";
$url = html_escape($url, 'UTF-8'); 
echo "<a href='$url'>Link</a>";

Above first rule is working for me. But when I try it with pname variable like I have done in second rule is not working for me.

can anybody tell me what is wrong with this?

Are there spaces in your product names? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/497908/is-a-url-allowed-to-contain-a-space – scx Mar 27 '18 at 12:36
You cannot have white space characters in a URL. – arkascha Mar 27 '18 at 12:36
What's `html_escape`? – Aniket Sahrawat Mar 27 '18 at 12:36
You want to `url_encode()` your URLs. – arkascha Mar 27 '18 at 12:36
@arkascha Can you show me an example? I tried it like this `$url = url_encode($pid)."/".url_encode($pname);`. But its not working – user3733831 Mar 27 '18 at 12:44
And "But its not working" means what? What _are_ the URLs you use, _exactly_. And what _is_ the issue you have, _exactly_ . – arkascha Mar 27 '18 at 12:47
My `` tag is something like this : `$url = url_encode($pid)."/".url_encode($pname); echo link;` – user3733831 Mar 27 '18 at 12:49

I asked for _exact_ statements for a reasons. "Something like" does not help, be specific. So what values can such a `$pid` and a `$pname` take? The issue most likely is that `\w` does not match every character you are using there... – arkascha Mar 27 '18 at 12:52
Its going to `404 Not Found` page. Then my URL is something like this : `mydomain.com/1/Ketasa bsraysas luytasas biuiyas miuytrasas` – user3733831 Mar 27 '18 at 12:58
can anybody look at this problem? thank you – user3733831 Mar 27 '18 at 14:41
