url rewrite path using htaccess and php

Question

I'd like to rewrite the following path https://example.org/app/my/index.php?param=/foo/bar/ to https://example.org/app/my/foo/bar and retrieve $_GET['param'] in php using .htaccess.

The parameter has to be modular so it can be any path. And I would like to keep the ability to add other parameter like https://example.org/app/my/foo/bar/?id=XY

The .htaccess-file is in /app/my/.

I already tried this, but it didn't worked out

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(app/my/[\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ $1.php?param=$2 [L,NC,QSA]

Answer 1

You may use:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(app/my)/(.+)$ $1/index.php?param=$2 [L,NC,QSA]

Using RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f to avoid matching app/my/index.php or any other file inside that folder.

You may try this rule inside app/my/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.+$ index.php?param=$0 [L,QSA]
