500 internal error on changing QUERY URL to SEO Friendly URL in PHP

I have installed a php script in a subfolder in my web host and there is a query string that I want it to be changed to SEO friendly URL.

The way it is now:

http://example.com/payment/index.php?link=AhYBksPI123

and the way I want:

http://example.com/payment/AhYBksPI123/

I have used some .htaccess rules and every time I got 500 internal server error.

Note: There is open cart installed in the root folder of the web site and there is no .htaccess file in the root folder and I just put the .htaccess file in to the /payment/ subfolder. Of course, I tested putting .htaccess file in to the root folder, but still getting the same error.

This is one of the test codes I have used putting it to the root:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /payment/

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index(?:.php)??link=([^s&]+)s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/? [R=302,L,NE]

I don’t know what am I doing wrong?!

I don’t know if this is the error log that would be useful or not:

    Try this:

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /payment

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?link=$1 [L,R=301]

    You have some invisible characters in front of the commands: xefxbbxbf. Remove them or, if you can’t see them, rewrite the file to make sure they are gone.
