You have it backwards (most common mistake in learning rewriting, IMO.)

What you do is put this in your pages

<a href="site.co/load/index/1">home</a>

Then your mod_rewrite does this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^load\/index\/(\d+)$ /load/index.php?id=$1 [L]

Note you don't need RewriteBase if you precede load with /. [0-9] is a synonym for \d.

The escapes (\/) in the pattern may not be necessary, habit of mine.


What you'll have to do in your scripts is

$this_id = 3456; // however you get a record id

echo "<a href=\"/load/index.php/$this_id\">$title</a>";

instead of

echo "<a href=\"/load/index.php?$this_id\">$title</a>";
