.htaccess redirect url with controller name for MVC application

i am trying to build a mvc like application and i cant figure out the right .htaccess i need.

I want something like:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ $1.php?action=$2&n=$3 [L]

so i can access the file that contains the proper controller and two get variables from the url. The code above doesnt work, i have been around this for 2 days now and i cant find anything like what i need anywhere.What happens there is that the 3 variables are required at the url in order to work, and thats not what i want. Sugestions?

use this:

RewriteRule ^([^\./]*)$ index.php?route=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

then 

$route = explode('/', $_GET['route']);
$id = array_pop();
$controller = array_shift($route);
$method = implode('_', $route);

$controller = new $controller;
$controller->$method();

Most frameworks use a Front-Controller instead of mod_rewrite. This controller splits apart the URL and routes accordingly.

While not the only solution, this is more flexible. Consider when you have the URL plugin/controller/view/id or controller/view/param1/param2.

If you want to adopt the Front-Controller architecture, I'd recommend using FallbackResource to keep your htaccess file trim.

FallbackResource /front-controller.php

From there it should be fairly straightforward to split apart the url with functions like parse_url().
