url rewriting not working on one.com provider - php

Question

Currently i am trying to get url rewriting to work on one.com hosting provider which is a pain and support don't understand the issue, so i was thinking of asking here if you may assist me finding the issue.
I'm using this rewriterule which worked on localhost but not with the provider:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?key=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ index.php?key=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?key=$1&seo=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ index.php?key=$1&seo=$2
</IfModule>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www\.mysite.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
and in index:
if($key=='post') //Cant include $seo here because the variable differ for
//each post on the site
{
include('post.php'); // Post page
}
Then in post.php ofc i take the seo GET variable to display the post content on the page.
complete url www.mysite.com/post/test-test-test
The error i end up with is 404
Not Found
The requested URL /post/test-test-test.php was not found on this server.
So basically what i understand is that it tries to enter a folder named /post/ and look for the file test-test-test.php
So i believe it doesn't include the rewrite rule, or can you find an error in the rewrite rule which worked on localhost?

You need to rearrange your rules and for adding .php extension make sure a file with .php exists:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L,NE]
# ignore rest of the rules for files and directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/?$ index.php?key=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ index.php?key=$1&seo=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
</IfModule>
