使用Apache PHP重写URL

Question

I have a number of urls that are stored in a database, and thus instead of adding a rewrite rule in .htaccess for every url, I am using the following code in htaccess to give the control to PHP code through the following ReWrite rule in Apache:

RewriteRule ^.*$ ./index.php

A url mentioned in the database, has a corresponding original url. Though, the tricky situation comes when I have to serve the content of the url fetched from DB by the corresponding original url for which the ReWrite rules are written in .htaccess. One solution is to implement the same rewrite rules for the url fetched from DB in PHP as written in Apache for the original url, however, the number of such original urls is huge.

Thus would be glad to know about a solution if possible which can make execution flow through the ReWrite rules mentioned in Apache after the processing inside PHP is complete.

Answer 1

If you have access to the main httpd.conf you could use a RewriteMap written in PHP.

Other than that, there is no way you can give control from PHP back to Apache so Apache can process it further, not in the same request anyway. You could do a 30x rewrite from PHP to let Apache work on the next request.
