Question

I have this snippet

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|img|css|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?/$1 [L] 

It won’t allow me to access a file at website.com/js/main.php
but it will let me access index.php

According to my webhost, $1 is being called before it is set. Any solutions?

I’ll accept answers when i get back tomorrow. Thank you!

Answer 1

I’m assuming you want the rewrite to ignore the things which your condition currently specifies. In that case…

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond !^(index\.php|images|img|css|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]

…should work fine. You’ll probably want the QSA on there so that if there’s a query string, it’s properly handled.
