I´ve a problem with rewrite rules in .htaccess. Can someone help me with the rewrite rules. The URL in the menu looks like this:  
[http://mydomain.com/articles](http://mydomain.com/articles)  
or  
[http://mydomain.com/about](http://mydomain.com/about)

The substitute would be index.php?page=ANYTHING  
The rule: RewriteRule Pattern index.php?page=$1

The other URL is when looking at a specific article and look like this:  
[http://mydomain.com/articles/53](http://mydomain.com/articles/53)

The Rule: RewriteRule Pattern index.php?page=article&id=$1  
or  
The Rule: RewriteRule Pattern index.php?page=$1&id=$2
