Rewrite URL condition for subfolder

Question

I have a htaccess file here

/en/.htaccess

and I would like to make this condition (which for basic htacces inside public_html) work also for a subfolder en

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /events/eventDetails\.php\?id=(.+)&name=(.+)\sHTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /events/%1/%2? [L,R]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^events/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /events/eventDetails.php?id=$1&name=$2 [L]

my htaccess starts as follows.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /en/
RewriteRule    ^hot-events/?$    hot-events.php    [NC,L] 

The last line correctly translates the link as www.example.com/hot-events

But I also want this to do the job of the first condition. I mean, when someone uses this link, https://example.com/en/events/123/abc he should run a request in this file

https://example.com/en/events/eventDetails.php?id=123&name=abc

Directory structure

   root/
   ├── .htaccess
   ├── index.php
   ├── events/
   │     └── eventDetails.php
   └── en/
        ├── .htaccess
        ├── index.php
        └── events/
                └── eventDetails.php

Answer 1

This is due to the incorrect purpose of your rewriting. You rewrite /events/eventDetails.phpinstead /en/events/eventDetails.php, try:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /en/
RewriteRule    ^hot-events/?$    hot-events.php    [NC,L] 
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /en/events/eventDetails\.php\?id=([^&]+)&name=(.+)\sHTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /en/events/%1/%2? [L,R]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^events/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /en/events/eventDetails.php?id=$1&name=$2 [L]
