how to get from mod_rewrited url query string - mod-rewrite

Question

I have a liitle mod_rewrite problem.
I have index.php (in root directory) which contains simple href link:
Novice
When I click on Novice, redirects me on novice.php file (which is mod_rewrited, that doesn't look like novice.php?query=this-is-something in URL, but looks like novice/this-is-something (this-is-something is my query)) The problem is, when I'm trying to GET "this-is-something" query in novice.php file.
I'm getting this query in novice.php file like that:
if (isset($_GET['query'])){
$query=$_GET['query'];
echo $query;
}else{
echo 'Null parameters.';
}
But it outputs just 0
But when I'm passing numbers in href link, like that:
Novice
The output in novice.php file is correct: 2131
I have code in my .htaccess like that:
RewriteRule ^novice/([^/\.]+)/?$ novice.php?query=$1 [L]
So what am I doing wrong in mod_rewrite, that i can get numbers through $_GET method, but I can not get string or charachters through $_GET?

Answer 1

I found solution by myself.
I've just changed "query" word at the end of RewriteRule ^novice/([^/.]+)/?$ novice.php?query=$1 [L]
to
"blabla" word -> RewriteRule ^novice/([^/.]+)/?$ novice.php?blabla=$1 [L]
And then works everything... Very strange...
if (isset($_GET['blabla'])){
$blabla=$_GET['blabla'];
echo $blabla;
}else{
echo 'Null parameters.';
}
It echo's now the parameter this-is-something.. But still don't know what was the problem.. I've just changed the name of variable "query" which was containing parameter "this-is-something"..
Btw if someone is interested: my .htaccess looks like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Unless directory, remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ http://localhost/local_ageo.si/$1 [R=301,L]
# Redirect external .php requests to extensionless url
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(.+)\.php([#?][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ http://localhost/local_ageo.si/$1 [R=301,L]
# Resolve .php file for extensionless php urls
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^novice/([^/\.]+)/?$ novice.php?blabla=$1 [L]
