Htaccess File Inside The Folder.

How to use .htaccess file inside the folder. I'm using two .htaccess files in my hosting, one for labs.9lessons and another for touch.9lessons. Just take a look at this post how I had implemented.

Original URL : http://www.9lessons.info/touch/index.php?id=srinivas
to
Friendly URL : http://touch.9lessons.info/srinivas

First .htaccess file
This code redirects sub domain http://touch.9lessons.info pointing to touch folder.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^touch\.9lessons\.info$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/touch/
RewriteRule (.*) /touch/$1

Second .htaccess file
This file inside the touch directory. Contains single parameter URL rewriting code.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /touch/

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ index.php?id=$1
