Mod_rewrite flat links

Question

I\'m trying to display my get variables as flat links. Want to change from this:

http://mydomain.com/index.php?page=shop&var1=hat&var2=10

Answer 1

You could just direct all request directly to index.php (called bootstrapping), and let the script parse out the variables.

This is how it's done with Zend Framework, you should take a look at it. ZF also has loads of other goodies you could utilize.

This is my rewrite block from one of my vhosts with a ZF powered website.

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}      !^/favicon.ico
    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
