Post and Portfolio Slug - php

Question

I'm having this issue with using slug on portfolio page for a website being developed. Let me explain. I have a blog post that display the url as slug using htaccess. This is working. But now trying to use same for portfolio page coming from the database and it gives me no page found.
Below is the htaccess file
Options +MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ single.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ portfolio-single.php?page=$1 [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /404-error.php
And below is the portfolio-single.php page code
if(empty($_GET['page'])) {
Url::Redirect("/");
} else {
if(isset($_GET['page'])) {
$portfolio = Post::getPostById($conn, $_GET['page']);
}
}
Please I need help in resolving this issue.
Thank you.

If you want different requests to be rewritten to different files, you need to tell the rewrite modules what requests should go where. This can be done by just adding a prefix to one of them.
Options +MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l [NC]
// Start with the portfolio
RewriteRule ^portfolio/(.*)$ portfolio-single.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]
// And have the "catch all" last (so it only catches requests that doesn't match
// any of the more specific rules.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ single.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
ErrorDocument 404 /404-error.php
The above will now make all requests that starts with /portfolio to be rewritten to the portfolio page while all the other requests will be handled by the single page.
This however means that you need to make sure all URL's to the portfolio starts with /portfolio (or what ever slug you want to use).
