Zend Framework and Apache

[reeksy]

Hi.

I’ve got a .htaccess file in my web root. Using the .htaccess file I force every request through a single file (frontend.php). Here’s my .htaccess file:

 
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* frontend.php

As mentioned above, using this .htaccess file every request is forced through frontend.php, so

 
http://www.mydomain.com/afile.php
http://www.mydomain.com/dirOne/dirTwo/
http://www.mydomain.com/index.php

Will all run exactly the same script (frontend.php).

This works fine, however I want to write a rule to so every request made to an admin alias goes through a separate file (backend.php). So, for example the following URLs would all go through backend.php as they all contain the admin alias.

 
http://www.mydomain.com/admin/
http://www.mydomain.com/admin/dirOne/dirTwo/
http://www.mydomain.com/admin/index.php

My problem is I’m unsure how to write this within my .htaccess file. Does anyone have any ideas! I’m completely stuck!

Easiest way is with another rule before it

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^admin/. backend.php [L]
RewriteRule . frontend.php

The [L] tells apache to stop processing any more rules so the general case is never reached once admin is matched.
