I am building a site using Slim, which suggests the following .htaccess code for creating pretty URLs:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
This means that a URL like http://example.com/account/login will alias for http://example.com/index.php/account/login, which is then processed by my front controller. So far so good.
However, if someone explicitly navigates to
http://example.com/index.php/account/login,
I would like it to first redirect to:
http://example.com/account/login,
and then alias for
http://example.com/index.php/account/login.
That way, the user will see http://example.com/account/login in their navigation bar.
How can I handle both of these rules simultaneously in .htaccess, and most importantly, without hardcoding the host and domain (http://example.com) in .htaccess?
This should also work in a subdirectory, for example:
http://example.com/site1/index.php/account/login ->
http://example.com/site1/account/login
With the .htaccess file located in the site1 directory relative to document root, and without having to explicitly put site1 in the .htaccess.
