I used mod-rewrite in htaccess to generate clean URL with base file test.php. (I am new to php)
Initial URL:
http://www.example.com/test.php?id=1176
New URL:
http://www.example.com/test/176
Queries are appropriately passed and printed. No problem here.

However, the same page can get displayed by the following URL also:
http://www.example.com/strange/1176
I have a file called strange.php in the root. test.php and .htaccess are in the same root folder.
Though the rule is only to change test.php to test/
it looks like any ..php file in the root directory can substitute for test and print that URL with content from 1176, as shown above. Any help?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ user.php?username=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ user.php?username=$1

Nice tips.

Dont forget to load module rewrite at first.
Because it’s been disable by default if you use xampp.
