@Brandon Hansen: take a look at $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and the query.php file near all is_home etc…

Do you know what it passes back to the server?

chirag: If you have AllowOverride All in you httpd.conf file then you can place the .htaccess file in the same folder you have your index.php.
If not you either set the AllowOverride to All (Note: There might be another option to just allow the .htaccess file to work but I normally have it set to All) or add the changes in the httpd.conf

Nice article david. I too use those lines to redirect everything to index.php in my php mvc framework :)
Never really knew exactly what “RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f” and
“RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d” really meant.
Thanks for clearing that up!

As Brad said, this is a pretty stock-standard .htaccess file. I know that CakePHP uses exactly the same (possibly minus the RewriteBase directive) and a number of other CMSs and frameworks do also. This set of rules is all most sites need to be able to support pretty URLs and a sensible code structure.

So yes, WP’s .htaccess is elegant in its simplicity, but it’s hardly alone!

I use a ton of RedirectMatch’s and a few other .htaccess tweaks like:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^[^\.]+\.html/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html.*$ http://www.askapache.com/$1.html [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(feed|wp-atom|wp-feed|wp-rss|wp-rdf|wp-commentsrss)(.*)\ HTTP/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^feed [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^(FeedBurner|FeedValidator|talkr) [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://feeds.askapache.com/apache/htaccess? [R=307,L]
