I'm trying to rewrite every request which isn't an existing file or directory to end up in a couple of $_GET sub-arrays for dispatcher.php to use. So far, everything seems to work nicely except trying to request pages which name is part of a file name. For example: I have a file named article.tpl.php. When I make a request for http://example.com/article , instead of rewriting it to /dispatcher.php?request=article&params= like it's supposed to, Apache renders a 404. It doesn't matter if after article there is a slash or not. Even if there's an entire string behind that slash. To be clear: everything works as long as I'm requesting existing files/folders, or making requests of which the names are totally unrelated to the files in the root folder. Rewrite rules: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule ^([-\w]*)(/[A-Za-z0-9-/]*)?$ dispatcher.php?request=$1&params=$2 This should rewrite all requests for non-existing files and folders which match with one of these possible patterns: / /word /word-with-hyphens /some-word/ /some-word/with/some/junk/following/it/it-doesnt-matter-how/long/this-is/5/1/25 PS: I've also asked this question on superuser.com, so far without response.
