URL rewrite + htaccess

Hi there.
I have a domain, and i want every query string
redirected to index.php?
so domain.com/foo/bar would actually be domain.com/index.php?/foo/bar
Then i want to be able to say in index.php,
if QUERY_STRING == foo, do this etc.
(How) can i do this with htaccess?

thanks!

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1

If you want:
example.com/foo/bar/?id=10 to work:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1 [QSA]

Then in index.php, your _GET array should (in theory, not tested) look like:

array(
'/foo/bar/' => '',
'id' => 10
)

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] should be:
?/foo/bar/&id=10

Don't know how well

Wow, thanks!
Just what i needed!

I'm sorry,
i cheered to early...

Without '[QSA]':
'domain.com' gives a 400 error.
'domain.com?foo' gives a 400 error.
'domain.com/' gives 'index.php'
'domain.com/foo' gives 'index.php'

With '[ QSA]'
'domain.com' gives a 400 error.
'domain.com?foo' gives a 400 error.
'domain.com/' gives 'index.php'
'domain.com/foo' gives 'index.php&foo' (should'nt that be
'index.php?foo' ?)
'domain.com/?foo' gives 'index.php&&foo' (should'nt that be
'index.php?&foo' ?)

Thanks in advance.

Dunno... Try in alt.apache.configuration group, or try changing your method.

For instance, this is similar to what I use:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)(/([^/]+))?(/([^/]+))?(/([^/]+))?/?$
x.php?v1=$1&v2=$3&v3=$5&v4=$7 [L,NS,QSA]

I'm sure you're no idiot, but just a heads up incase you are unaware of
this. Be careful about any secure areas of your site to which you want
restricted access, for example PHP include folders or anything. I have
seen a few sites which use this "index.php gateway" approach, where
simply changing the string passed to the script allows access to
anything, sometimes even sending PHP source unparsed. This problem may
or may not affect you, depending on how you've done things.

First of all, thanks for your warning!

Though i haven't got a solution yet for my initial posted problem
i use sort of the following method:

$string = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

$allowed_strings = array('home', 'contact', 'etc');

if(!in_array($string, $allowed_strings))
{

$string = 'home';

};

I thought this was quite safe, but please do inform me if not!

Thanks!
