Question

How to have requests to be handled by index.php

For instance

If I type SEFs in the browser

http://localhost/friends
http://localhost/me

Rewrites to

http://localhost/index.php/friends
http://localhost/index.php/me

So I could access friends or me from $_REQUEST[‘PATH_lNFO’]

I’ve mod rewrite on and allow all directive set for the root directory in apache.

Need a .htaccess file,

look in this article http://www.sitepoint.com/apache-mod_rewrite-examples/ for this RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z_]+)/([a-zA-Z_]+)/([a-zA-Z_]+)$ display.php?country=$1&state=$2&city=$3 [L]

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /rtest
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mathpdq\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mathpdq.com/rtest/$1 [R=permanent,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
