mod_rewrite - is this possible?

[Dustman]

I'm wanting to use mod_rewrite to assist with processing on my site. I need to be able to pass any request through a php script. For example,

http://foo.bar/mydir/blah.html

gets turned into

http://foo.bar/mydir/process.php?url=blah.html

I'm pretty sure this is possible.. I just don't know the syntax. Any volunteers to help?

Dustman,
Try something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond   /your/docroot/mydir/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule   ^/mydir/(.*)$ /mydir/process.php?url=$1 [F,L]

This will check to make sure the file exists. If it does then it will rewrite the request as you proposed. If the file doesn't exist then it should return a 404 file not found error.

For more info check out the apache url rewriting guide:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html

Hope that helps get you pointed in the right direction.

Hmm.. that still doesn't work. It seems to have no effect at all.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond /home/superwag/public_html/dustin/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^/dustin/(.*)$ /dustin/process.php?murl=$1 [F,L]

Currently I have one file called homepage.html and then my php file called process.php. I get file not found on any files that aren't there but I get the actual file that I request when I ask for it.. pretty much like nothing happens. All my php script is doing right now is printing "You asked for $murl". Any other ideas?

Okay, I think I've got it working now. Thanks for the help!

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/dustin/process\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dustin/process.php?murl=$1 [L]

Now any file or directory I ask for within dustin, will be sent to process.php, where I will check for authorization manually and determine what to do from there .
