problem with url rewrite .htaccess

Question

I'm writing a mvc framework in php, and trying to rewrite urls using this pattern:

www.example.com/contact/send/

to read as

www.example.com/index.php?url=contact/send/

So I can explode the $_GET['url'] var and use into the fw to route.

Its working great in almost any case, the only issue is that when I try to use a string that is a folder too, ak 'admin', without a trailing slash, the url exposes the variables.

Like this:

www.example.com/admin/ - OK, the url stays just like that

www.example.com/admin - Heres the problem, the url redirects browser to:

www.example.com/admin/?url=admin

The $_GET['url'] is set and working ok in both cases, but I wish to doesnt expose the 'url=admin'.

Theres any way to do that?

Thanks!

The .htaccess is:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [PT,L]

I think you are missing a ! :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

You want to rewrite when it is NOT a directory.

Edit: Or maybe a exception

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin/?
