Query string to path in htaccess somewhat working? - apache

Question

Hello I have been stuck with htaccess for the past 3 days and can not seem to figure out why my htaccess file is not changing my url correctly.
So I am attempting to turn this query string url from www.example.com/test/user-profile.php?id=4 into www.example.com/test/user-profile/4
the /test/ in the url is not a file, its a folder in the main public_html directory.
Here is my htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)$
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test/user-profile.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test/user-profile/%1? [R=301,L]
As of right now it is going to the url www.example.com/test/user-profile/4 but it is not loading the entire page. Just beyond stuck, thank you for your time

With your shown samples, attempts; please try following htaccess rules file. Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteBase /
##RewriteBase /test/
##Extrenal redirect rule.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/(test/user-profile)\.php\?id=(\d+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2? [R=301,L]
##Internal rewrite rule.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/(.*)/?$ $1/$2.php?id=$3 [QSA,L]
JS/CS rewrite/redirect:
You may need to use base tag to fix your js and other relative resources. If you are linking js files using a relative path then the file will obviously get a 404 because its looking for URL path. for example if the URL path is /file/ instead of file.html then your relative resources are loading from /file/ which is not a directory but rewritten html file. To fix this make your links absolute or use base tag. In the header of your webpage add this <base href="/"> so that your relative links can load from the correct location.
