Using mod_rewrite with PHP

I used apache mod_rewrite to create user friendly and search engine optimized urls for sri-lankan.net. Here is how I did it.

Using the following .htaccess configuration, I redirected all the requests to index.php.

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

And decide what to show the user by checking $_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’]…

<?
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$parts = explode('/', $url);
?>
