IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule !^index\.php$ index.php [L] Hi, This is my current .htaccess As you see, it redirect all pages to index.php except index.php itsel How do I modify it so that the exception is not just index.php but also channel.php or index3.php?

Perhaps this?

index|index3|channel)\.php$ index.php [L] What about if I want to spare index.php, index3.php, channel.php, and something.js Would it be !^(((index|index3|channel)\.php)(something\.js))$ index.php [L] or !^(index\.php|index3\.php|channel\.php|something.js)$ index.php [L]

The latter. But you're probably better off with something like this: ie. if the file exists, serve it. If not redirect to index.php, except if the request is for an image / stylesheet etc. - in that case send the 404.html page instead (which must exist, and should be small). The point is that generating index.php may take significant memory and processing power - you don't want to do it for every missing image or stylesheet...

Exactly what I need. Thanks.

What happened if 404.html doesn't exist?

Then 404.html will also serve index.php and you're back to generating the home page for every missing image.

Ah ha................................................. A way to solve it is then to just write in index.php to simply output an empty string when the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] is 404.html Another thing would be: Hmmm... Is it possible to check whether index.php has been called twice by the same IP Or how should I check? What should I detect within index.php so that if the query is just another js, page, etc it'll just quickly display an empty string.

A way to solve what? Why don't you just create the 404.html file? (empty if you want it to be)
