How to create seo friendly urls with php and htaccess?

I’m trying to generate seo friendly urls using a htaccess file and PHP. But it’s not working.

I tried the code below in localhost (running XAMPP)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /real/

RewriteRule ^property-details/([0-9a-zA-Z]+) property-details.php?pid=$1 [NC, L]

    [NC, L]

    You need to remove the space between your RewriteRule flags. This will result in a 500 Internal Server error – in which case you should examine your error logs for a more meaningful error. It should be written as:

    [NC,L]

    No spaces.

    UPDATE:
    For mod_rewrite to work in per-directory .htaccess files, FollowSymLinks must also be enabled (if its not already). At the very top of your .htaccess file, include:

    Options +FollowSymLinks

    There are different ways of achieving the same results, but this will give you a guide.

    First activate mod_rewrite uncommenting this line in you httpd.conf or apache2.conf file:

    LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so

    Change AllowOverride from none to All to your www directory

        <Directory />
        AllowOverride All 
        Require all denied
    </Directory>

    Restart apache:

    sudo apachectl restart

    or

        sudo service apache2 restart

    In your www folder, create an .htaccess file and add this:

        # | SEO URL                                                                                
    Options +FollowSymLinks  
    RewriteEngine On  
    RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d  
    RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f  
    RewriteRule ^.*$ ./index.php

    Then in your index.php file:

    <?php
    $url_params=get_url_params();

    // then access your url_params
    if (isset($url_params[1]))
    {
        switch ($url_params[1]) 
        {
            case 'login':
                    echo "<h1>Login</h2>";
                break;

            case 'contact':
                    echo "<h1>Cantact</h2>";
                break;

            default:
                echo "<h1>Home</h2>";
                break;
        }

    }

    function get_url_params($site_url='')
    {
        $base_url=explode("/", $site_url);
        $request  = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
        $url_params = explode("/", $request);
        $delete_extensions=array('.html','.htm');
        $data[]=array();
        foreach ($base_url as $b)
        {
            unset( $url_params[array_search( "$b", $url_params )] );
        }
        foreach ($url_params as $u)
        {
            foreach ($delete_extensions as $e){
                $u=str_replace($e, "", $u);
            }
            $data[]=$u;
        }
        return $data;
    }
    ?>
