Help with Mod_Rewrite

I am trying to get URL working for SEO. ID and Title should be included.

domain.com/news.php?id=12 to domain.com/news/12/tite-of-news
domain.com/news.php to domain.com/news.php

However if someone type: domain.com/news/12/
and ignore the tile.. it should still work.

This is what I have done:
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)$ news.php?id=$1 [L]

 

I managed to get it working using: RewriteRule ([0-9]+)/(.*) news.php?id=$1 [L]

Is that correct way?

 

Yes, this is a correct way to do it.

I would add the ^news/ part back as you had in the first attempt. No reason to leave that out

Hope this helps.
