Mod rewrite to delete the file name of the url

If I have a file, let's say rec-view.php, then I can call it by this URL:

domain.com/record/rec-view.php?id=3

However, I want to call this file with the following URL as well:

domain.com/record/3

So, basically I want to tell the server that if there is any file that ends with the "-view.php" name, then it should remove the file name all together in the URL and open that file only by passing the id.

I am trying the following rule, it accesses the file by "/v" but I need to access by the dynamic number.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/v$ $1-view.php [NC,L]

Try this:

Options +FollowSymLinks

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /

    # Match the host, if you wish
    #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$

    RewriteRule record/(\d) /record/rec-view.php?id=$1 [NC,L]
</IfModule>

You can test it online, if you wish.

With (\d) you're only matching against numeric values, if you wish to accept any values, you may change it to (.*).

Just saw that you need a more generic rule:

# Maps record/4 to record/record-view.php?id=4
RewriteRule (.*)/(\d) /$1/$1-view.php?id=$2 [NC,L]

For this to work, you need a more strict naming convention in place. More specifically, you need all those *-view.php files to be named exactly like their containing directory.

There's no way to get rec prefix out of thin air unless it's always the first 3 characters; is it?

Update

As per your comment, here's a more generic ruleset that checks if the URI's last segment is a number and if so, then it maps the request to the containing directory's *-view.php file while maintaining the directory structure and appending the ?id=* query string:

# This rule maps this:
#     domain.com/foo/bar/baz/4
# to:
#     domain.com/foo/bar/baz/baz-view.php?id=4
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(\d)$ /$1/$2/$2-view.php?id=$3 [L,R]

There are other variations that you might have wanted:

# This rule maps this:
#     domain.com/foo/bar/baz/4
# to:
#     domain.com/foo/bar/baz-view.php?id=4
#
# Notice the baz/ segment dropped.
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(\d)$ /$1/$2-view.php?id=$3 [L,R]

# This rule maps this:
#     domain.com/foo/bar/baz/4
# to:
#     domain.com/baz-view.php?id=4
#
# Notice all the segments dropped. Mapping to
# a php file in the root directory.
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(\d)$ /$2-view.php?id=$3 [L,R]
