Long URL in php using htaccess

Question

I have a very long URL: //domain/administration/registrar/term_detail.php?a_id=47 And I want to make it looks like: //domain/administration/registrar/detail/47

I have created an htaccess file in //domain/administration/registrar/. Below is my code in htaccess and it is not working. Any suggestion of what I did wrong is appreciated.

Both of my htaccess and term_detail.php files are inside of registrar folder.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /administration/registrar/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+registrar/detail\.php\?a_id=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ administration/registrar/%1? [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^administration/registrar/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ detail?a_id=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

You can try these rules inside your /administration/registrar/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /administration/registrar/

## External redirect to /administration/registrar/term_detail/47
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([^./]+)(?:\.php)?\?a_id=([^&\s]+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2? [R=301,L,NE]

## Internal rewrite to term_detail.php?a_id=47
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ $1.php?a_id=$2 [QSA,L]
