Regular expresions in .htaccess

[hermzz]

I'm writing my .htaccess file for a mod_rewrite

What it does up to now is that it redirects all requests to one specific page.

RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

Now I was wondering how to edit this so that it avoids redirecting css,png,jpeg etc. requests

I've tried:
RewriteRule !.css$ index.php [L]
but it doesn't seem to work

This isn't really a PHP problem, but an Apache problem; more expert help might be available in an Apache-specific forum.

One guess might be that you're doing this for one file type per rule. Well, a CSS file doesn't match .png$, so the rule !.png$ index.php will change CSS files into index.php. and PNG files don't match .css$, so they'll be rewritten as index.php as well.

Ok thanks for your help. My idea was simply to get some regexp help. I'll go try at some Apache forum 😃

I was going to stick all the filetypes into one rule, the css one was just a simple example to simplify.
