Help! URLs changing by themselves!

Folks, need your help with a problem I am getting when typing in URLs for my website.

For example, when I give someone a URL to one of the pages within my site

example: http://www.spireviews.com/article/radisson/South-Padre-Island-hotels/

They click it and then the URL switches by itself to:

http://www.spireviews.com/view-article-details.php

And then that page's content dissapears with nothing left except the shell.

What the heck is going on?? I suspect it's something in my htaccess file. Shall I post that here?

Thanks for any help!

 

If you have set up a redirect in your htacces it will probably be that, post the code here.

 

Thanks dave! here it is:

I just checked the link and its fixed, well done!

 

I didn't do anything Can you try again? It's still giving me that switching problem. Thanks.

 

Hmm, it stopped working and now I just tested and it works again!

I suggest asking the same question in the apache forum as I am not an expert on htaccess and can't see anything wrong with it.
