.htaccess file modification - php

I have a .htaccess file which arranges that all requests go through index.php.
Now i would like to make an exception for rss.php. to go straight throuh rss.php.
How do I do this?
This is how it looks like now:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php
Thanks.

Put this before the last line.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/rss\.php$

You can exclude any existing file with an additional RewriteCond directive:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Or alternatively do a rewrite that matches the file then skips the rest of the rewrite tests.
By putting the following line before your existing RewriteRule will redirect without going through index.php.
RewriteRule ^/rss.php /rss.php [L]
I came across this page while hunting for a way to do this with my /robots.txt file.

htaccess adding [NC,F] to GET parameter

I'm working on an MVC project and I have the following .htaccess file:
Options -Indexes
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?path=$1 [L]
RewriteRule !^(public/|index\.php) [NC,F]
It works OK. I only want the public/ folder and the index.php file to be accessible to the public. All other paths should be inserted into the path GET parameter. For example, mysite.com/controller/method should point to mysite.com/index.php?path=controller/method.
Now, there is a problem. When visiting the URL directly (without including index.php, it is adding [NC,F] to the GET path parameter. It's like visiting mysite.com is pointing to mysite.com/index.php?path=[NC,F].
Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
EDIT
I moved index.php into the public/ folder. Here is my .htaccess file now:
Options -Indexes
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/index.php?path=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ public/index.php [L]
RewriteRule !^(public/) [NC,F]
It seems to work OK. Are there any other improvements I could make on this?
You don't have a redirect location on the last rule, so it's taking the flags as the redirect location. Just a dash will be fine since it's a forbidden response. Change the last line to:
RewriteRule !^(public/|index\.php$) - [NC,F]
Also adding the dollar sign after index.php just to be clear.
Edit:
I would suggest updating your new rule set to the following (actually I suggest a complete re-think below, but this is an update on what you have):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ public/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/index.php?path=$1 [L]
RewriteRule !^(public/) - [NC,F]
The (/)? wasn't needed in your homepage rule, as the opening forward slash is not included in .htaccess matches anyway.
I moved your rule for the homepage to the top or it will never be used due to being matched by the previous rule (so the path param is not there when empty, which is presumably what you intended).
I stopped anything in /public/ from being passed to your index.php script, since the way you had it, anything in public that didn't exist would have been passed to your index script, which does not seem to be what you intend.
I added RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/public/index.php so the rule couldn't be executed on itself and create a loop if rule processing is run through more than once, which it can be, but then took it back out because the above match on /public/ covers that anyway.
A Re-Think
All that said, I don't think it really makes sense to check if files don't exist and then just send forbidden responses to the ones that do, yet send everything else to your index script. Why not just send everything to your index script? That seems to be what you want really. I would suggest you simplify to this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/index.php?path=$1 [L]
Dropping the homepage rule since no need to worry about an empty path parameter being passed to your index script. Changing the logic to be "Leave anything in /public/ alone. For anything else, pass it through to the index.php script." so files tests not needed since the script handles it all, and no forbidden response needed because there is nothing left to match, it's all covered by the rules. You can always return forbidden to anything you don't want to process in your script, which you would have needed to do anyway for existing file URLs in your previous setup.
One Last Re-Think
And finally, if I might suggest, it would be cleaner to have your index.php file in the root of the website, so you can make /public/ work with its own index file later if you like, so finally I would move it back to the root and change the rules to this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?path=$1 [L]
And if you like all that, an up-vote to go with already accepting the answer would be much appreciated. :)
Adding RewriteRule ^(/)?$ public/index.php [L] seems to have resolved the issue. I'm not sure if this is the best approach, but here is my .htaccess file now:
Options -Indexes
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/index.php?path=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ public/index.php [L]
RewriteRule !^(public/) [NC,F]
I moved index.php into the public folder to make things clearer.

Rewrite all URLs to index with path as GET variable

I am trying to forward all requests for other index.php files to the root index.php file with the path encoded as a GET variable. Here are some examples of what I mean:
http://my-site.com/this/is/the/path/index.php would become:
http://my-site.com/?path=%2Fthis%2Fis%2Fthe%2Fpath%2Findex.php
http://my-site.com/this/is/the/path/ would become:
http://my-site.com/?path=%2Fthis%2Fis%2Fthe%2Fpath%2F
http://my-site.com/this/is/the/path/index.php?v=var would become:
http://my-site.com/?path=%2Fthis%2Fis%2Fthe%2Fpath%2Findex.php%3Fv%3Dvar
How can this be done with the .htaccess file?
EDIT
To be clear, here is what I am hoping to achieve:
If a path is to a file called "index.php" it redirects as long is it is not the root index file. Note, said index.php file could have GET variables that should be included.
If a path ends in a slash, in should redirect as well as long is it is not the root. Again, note said path could have GET variables that should be included.
Otherwise, it should not redirect any other paths.
In summary, only paths to an index.php file (that are not the root) or that end in a slash should be redirected.
put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?path=$1 [L,QSA]
You can use this .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?path=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I suggest learning a little about regular expressions in Apache's mod_rewrite.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*/index.php)$ index.php?path=$1
Note this will only rewrite URL's that end in index.php and leave all other URL's alone, as that's the behavior you specified. If you want to rewrite all URL's to the index:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?path=$1

.htaccess being ignored? Not redirecting like it's supposed to

Okay I'm trying to use Lando (landocms.com) and I'm trying to get the pretty urls option to work.
Basically by default Lando creates link like: domain.com/index.php/page. Supposedly, there is a way to remove the index.php so the links become: domain.com/page. I have created an .htaccess as directed, however it does not work.
Here is the .htaccess I am using:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I have tried alot of variations, /index.php/, index.php? and plenty more but none work. According to HostGator everything should be fine. Any thoughts? I think I'm going crazy haha.
Thanks!
Rewriting for a CMS is a two-tier approach. First, you need to set your .htaccess (I have put a safer one here for you):
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .+ index.php [QSA,L]
Then, LandoCMS allows you to remove the index.php from the generated addresses, by means of turning on the appropriate setting in the administration panel. See this link for more information.
If the .htaccess content I've given you doesn't work, then simply use the one that the CMS has given you.
You want to remove the index.php part from any URL, but process the incoming, friendly URLs through index.php nevertheless
RewriteEngine On
# remove index.php and redirect client
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_SEO} ^$
RewriteRule ^/?index.php/(.*) /$1 [R,L]
# process friendly URL
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php/
RewriteRule .+ /index.php/$0 [E=SEO:1,L]
The environment setting E=SEO:1 prevents an endless loop.

url rewriting index.php

i have urls like
http://mysite.com/index.php?p=resources
http://mysite.com/index.php?p=resources&s=view&id=938
but i want urls like
http://mysite.com/resources
http://mysite.com/resources/view/938
instead of making hundreds of rewrite rules i wonder if it would be possible to just have one? Ive head this is possible by "getting the uri and splitting it into parts" and then just add a rewrite rule for index.php
but how? could someone give an example or link a tutorial
I happen to use this in .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
This essentially calls index.php no matter what is requested. Then inside your PHP code you can look at $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to get the URL and parse it accordingly.
The RewriteCond lines are there to exclude direct calls to files. In my case I don't want stuff like requests for js/css/image files to go through index.php for performance reasons.
Create a .htaccess file. Not somefilename.htaccess, it is simply named .htaccess.
Note: Your index.php and .htaccess file should be in the same directory.
Now try this on your .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)$ index.php?p=resources
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?p=resources&s=view&id=938
</IfModule>

.htaccess rewriting url to page or directory

For my site I have a RewriteRule that points the URL http://www.mysite.com/work to a work.php file. I also have a directory called "work" that has files in it, like project1.php, project2.php, etc...
What rules would I have to write so that the URL http://www.mysite.com/work knows to go to the work.php file, but the URL http://www.mysite.com/work/project1 knows I mean to go inside the directory "work" and display the project1.php file?
EDIT: Should point out, this is what I'm currently working with:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /beta/
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ $1.php [L]
Any additional tips to improve this security-wise? (Stopping directory jumping, etc...)
Try this:
RewriteEngin On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^work$ /work.php [QSA,L]
That will ensure that http://www.mysite.com/work (no trailing slash) will go to your work.php file.
If you also want http://www.mysite.com/work/ (with trailing slash) to go work.php, add this line just above the last RewriteRule.
RewriteRule ^work/$ /work [R=301,QSA,L]
That will redirect it to the URL with no trailing slash thus, displaying the work.php file.
UPDATE: Since you already have a RewriteBase directive, just put the RewriteRule line(s) right after your RewriteBase but before your RewriteRule as the rule you're using a catch-all and will match everything.
This is the answer to your question. It works for me.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ $1.php [L]
Simply remove beta/
Try this rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule .* $0.php [L]
