Question

I want to use a Front Controller design pattern for my website, so I want to point everything to, let’s say, index.php.

Inside index.php I want to split the REQUEST_URI up into different things and decide what to do next from there.

How can I write my .htaccess to do this?

Answer 1

WordPress does this exactly:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
