mod rewrite everything

[michaellunsford]

The basic idea is to have any request going to a certain directory be parsed by PHP.

So if the browser calls image.jpg. this works great:
[code]RewriteRule ^/?([^/]*)\.jpg$ index.php?page=$1 [L,NS][/code]
which returns "image.jpg" but the directory also has gif, png, pdf, html, php, and who knows what else. So, I tried removing the "\.jpg":
[code]RewriteRule ^/?([^/]*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L,NS][/code]
but this returns "index.php" -- where it got that is beyond me. I tweak it a bit
[code]RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L,NS][/code]
also returns "index.php" -- in fact, numerous variations of the above (which _should_ be a complete wildcard) also returns "index.php".


I'm so confused. What's missing here?

i'm not sure i understand...do you want any file, except for another PHP file to be rewritten to index.php?
