Apache – mod rewrite variable is always index.php

I want to rewrite domain.com/pagename to /index.php?page=$pagename with this simple rule:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]

But paradoxically I always get index.php for $1 and not pagename, why is that?

    Try this

    http://example.com/pagename => http://example.com/index.php?page=$pagename

    RewriteRule ^pagename$ /index.php?page=$pagename&%{QUERY_STRING}

    You have an infinite redirect loop, that’s why you get an unexpected result (weird you don’t get an Internal Server Error, by the way…)

    Here is a rule for what you want

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]

    It checks if the url is not a physical folder/file before rewriting it internally. This rule is valid for one-level url only (eg. http://example.com/placeholder and not http://example.com/placeholder/somethingelse)
