PHP query strings to be rewritten with htaccess RewriteCond

I have a switch on index.php, which listens to ?action=

I would like to rewrite anything after index.php/ to index.php?action=

Currently I have a rule to remove index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f [NC] RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1.php [L]

So a current url looks like;

localhost:8888/?action=viewBasket

and would like to rewrite it to;

localhost:8888/viewBasket

Im getting confused as to wether I need to create a condition for each switch param, so to prevent images, script, sources etc from being rewritten. Or if there is a condition to check if exisits first. Cheers!

Try this:

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?action=$1 [L]

First line: Added this because I was scratching my head why it was not working for me. I'm sure you know you need this, just a note for others who might view this.

Second line: Checks if it is not a file.

Third line: Checks if it is not a directory. If it's a file or a directory, it will not process your RewriteRules. By default RewriteConds are operated with and.

Fourth line: I'm sure somebody can write a better rule. [L] last rule, stop evaluating RewriteRules. Tells it to rewrite to index.php?action={whatever} without changing the location header.

The gist of the fourth line is this: if your index.php is

var_dump($_GET);

www.example.com/foo

Will yield array(1) { ["action"]=> string(3) "foo" }

Try this out :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?action=$1 [L,QSA]

I have worked it out. Will remove my question tomorrow if no one provides a better soloution.

# redirect to any directories
RewriteRule ^styles/(.*) styles/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^styles/fonts/(.*) styles/fonts/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^images/(.*) images/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^bower_components/(.*) bower_components/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^scripts/(.*) scripts/$1 [L,QSA]

#if not a directory listed above, rewrite the request to ?action=
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?action=$1 [L,QSA]
