I am having some issues with url rewriting I am using this as my code for rewrite in htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /pages.php?id=$1 [L]

this was my url 

studentsassignmenthelp.com/pages.php?id=Marketing-Assignment-Help

after using the url rewrite i am getting this

studentsassignmenthelp.com/Marketing-Assignment-Help.html

but i need it without the html like the below one

studentsassignmenthelp.com/Marketing-Assignment-Help

if i use the below code to remove the .html than it shows error 500 server...

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /pages.php?id=$1 [L]

I saw some example but after using them it shows 404 or 500 error

For RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /pages.php?id=$1 [L] rule to execute the request URI needs to contain .html in the end. Not as your describing. Also it rewrites a /home.html request to /pages.php?id=home – DevZer0 Jun 14 at 8:49

Try this,

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !pages.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ pages.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

redirectMatch 301 ^(.*).html $1

This is quite usefull to remove any url extension and avoid broken links.
