How to insert an “index.php” into every url using .htaccess?

Question

Example: My Site gets called like that:

www.mysite.com/controller/method/parameter1/parameter2

Now, .htaccess needs to rewrite this URL into:

www.mysite.com/index.php/controller/method/parameter1/parameter2

But the problem is: In case of an img, css or js directory, no redirection should happen.

How can I achieve this? I only know the mod-rewrite engine is my friend here.

Answer 1

To complete Khal Weir's answer, the resulting rule should be something like :

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!^(/css/|/js/|/images/|/robots.txt)
RewriteRule . /index.php/ [L]

Answer 2

Either you filter it as the other recommended it or you filter for files existing on the hard drive:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php/ [L]

These days most CMS systems filter it like this.

Answer 3

you can do something like

RewriteCond $1 !^(css|js|images|robots.txt)
