.htaccess redirection not working

I have the following rules in my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
#1. home page redirection
RewriteRule ^$ php/home.php [QSA,L]                                        

#2. Detect Non valid files (for menus)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

#3. append php/query.php                                                   
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ php/$1.php [QSA,L]

UPDATE : The problem was that I did not have .htaccess in wp directory.

This working fine but I have recently installed wordpress in a sub folder of my website called wp. Listing the wordpress posts works fine in my blog.php.

The user access the blog webpage by this url http://mysite/blog then rule #2 is executed.

The problem is that rule #2 and #3 is also fired when accessing the wordpress articles and admin portal. How do I prevent that from happening in this situation, i need to access the below URLs.

Internal Server Error

http://mysite/wp/wp-admin

Internal Server Error

http://mysite/wp/some-article

Folder structure

|-mysite
  |- css
  |- .htaccess
  |- wordpress
    |- wp
    |- wp-admin
  |- php
    |- index.php
    |- blog.php
  |- js

Any help/advice much appreciated.

Thanks

UPDATE : Everything is working now - This is my .htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ php/home.php [QSA,L]                                                                                                                 
#WP articles
RewriteRule ^blog/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ wp/$1 [QSA,L]

#WP archives                     
RewriteRule ^blog/([0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2})/?$ wp/$1 [QSA,L]

#WP search                                       
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^s=(.*)$
RewriteRule . wp/$/%1? [QSA,L]

#WP categories                
RewriteRule ^blog/category/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ wp/$1 [QSA,L]

#WP tags
RewriteRule ^blog/tag/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ wp/$1 [QSA,L]

#WP authors
#Insert authors redirect

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ php/$1.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

I also experienced a 404 error when accessing my blog page - this was caused by including the wp-blog-header.php file, the solution was to insert the following code in my blog.php and remove include('wp/wp-blog-header.php)

<?php
   require('./wp-config.php');
   $wp->init();
   $wp->parse_request();
   $wp->query_posts();
   $wp->register_globals();
?>

First, #2 is not a rule, it is a condition for executing the folowing rule (#3).

To fix your issue, there is multiple solutions, you can add for example a condition to not redirect anything that starts with wp/ :

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^$ php/home.php [QSA,L]                                        

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?wp/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ php/$1.php [QSA,L]
