[mod_rewrite]: Problems with redirecting - php

Question

i have a problem with rewriting urls. i have coded a small framework for myself because i don't need a full sized framework with lots of stuff for my projects. I defined the general behavior like zend framework:
Rewritten url: domain/controller/action
Real path: domain/index.php?ctrl=controller&act=action
Controller and action should be displayed instead of it $_GET named key. After controller and action if i add an infinite amount of additional parameters, it should be added as key/value like this:
domain/controller/action/key/value/key2/value2/key3/value3 ...
This is my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ index.php?ctrl=$1&act=$2&$3=$4&$5=$6&$7=$8&$9=$10&$11=$12&$13=$14 [L]
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ index.php?ctrl=$1&act=$2&$3=$4&$5=$6&$7=$8&$9=$10&$11=$12 [L]
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ index.php?ctrl=$1&act=$2&$3=$4&$5=$6&$7=$8&$9=$10 [L]
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ index.php?ctrl=$1&act=$2&$3=$4&$5=$6&$7=$8 [L]
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ index.php?ctrl=$1&act2=$2&$3=$4&$5=$6 [L]
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ index.php?ctrl=$1&act=$2&$3=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)+/([\w-]+)?$ index.php?ctrl=$1&act=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)+/?$ index.php?ctrl=$1 [L]
The page can only called with controller and action. If one of them is missing, the user will be redirected. I set headers for that:
// Redirects
if (!isset($_GET) || !isset($_GET['ctrl'])) {
header('location: /index/index/');
}
if (!isset($_GET['act']) || (isset($_GET['act']) && empty($_GET['act']))) {
header("location: /".$_GET['ctrl']."/index/");
}
It's dirty i know. Generally it works, but there are some problems that i can't solve:
if i try to call the webapp with domain/ the page can't be displayed or i will be redirected to google with the search "domain/". If i type domain/controller/action it works.
If i add a trailing slash after the action, it ends up with 404. It should be the same behavior like without the slash at end.
If i add a slash before the path in header('location:... it works for the following pattern: domain/controller. It will be redirected to domain/controller/action (in this case controller/index).
But if i try domain/ it results in 404.
Without slash before:
domain/controller/ results in domain/controller/controller/action but domain/ will be redirected correctly to domain/index/index
What am i missing? :(
Thanks

I think you forgot this:
rewritecond %{http_host} ^yoururl.com/ [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://yoururl.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
This code needs to go under:
RewriteBase /
