htaccess mod rewriting | remove variable sign and all unnecessary text – SEO

I have a dayanmic website built in core PHP/MySql and hosted on one.com, I’m trying to make my URLs SEO Friendly by removing all Unnecessary signs from the URL, especially the variable ?someid=

I tried a lot of scripts using htaccess but nothing worked.

currently my url look like this: example.com/category.php?post-title=بعض-النص-يذهب-هنا

I want it to look like this: example.com/بعض-النص-يذهب-هنا

The title is stored in a MySql database.

as I mentioned I tried a lot of mod rewriting but nothing worked, here is one of the scripts I tried:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ([^/]*).html category.php?post-title=$1

There is more scripts I tried, I can post them too if it’s important.

    Try it like this in root directory and mod-rewrite must be enabled for rewriting,

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([w-]+)$ category.php?post-title=$1 [QSA,L]

    If i just follow your example you just need this rule:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) /category.php?post-title=$1

    But this will match every time the hole path.

    Maybe you should prefix your category paths like

    RewriteRule category/(.*).html /category.php?post-title=$1

    So every category has path like /category/بعض-النص-يذهب-هنا.html

    All you need to use is this:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /category.php?post-title=$1 [L]

    It will leave you with your desired URL of: example.com/بعض-النص-يذهب-هنا. Just make sure you clear your cache before testing this.
