All apache requests to Symfony Routing Component

I started to make a website and i want to use only decoupled components (installed through composer) that i will need in my project. The first component i want to use is symfony/routing component. So i made a php file (the front controller) and i want all user requests to be redirected to this front controller. What best practices to do that?

I tried it to do with the .htaccess file like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^.*$ frontController.php [L]

So any request will be redirected to the front controller. But is it secure and well written? Maybe there is some best practices for cases like this?

This tutorial will be perfect for your needs: http://symfony.com/doc/current/create_framework/index.html

Especially the routing part: http://symfony.com/doc/current/create_framework/routing.html

Regarding your specific question, you may want to add a few more rules before, e.g. if a file exists do not redirect but just serve the file

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule .? - [L]

The .htaccess included in Symfony Standard Edition is a good example.
