I want a request like: /base/path/to/target?foo=bar to invoke a particular PHP file for everything under /base. It seems the usual way (only way?) to do this is with something like: AddHandler php5-script .php AddType text/html .php DirectoryIndex index.php and with directives like: Alias /base /path/to/base/html <Directory "/path/to/base/html"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /base RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule .* index.php [L] </Directory> However this is a disaster. The request for /base/path/to/target?foo=bar is received inside the PHP script as /base/index.php/path/to/target?foo=bar. Now the application has to have intimate knowledge of the presence of the extra /index.php segment and exclude it from URLs and paths emitted by the application. The internal representation doesn't match the reality of the external representation. So my question is, is there a way to directly invoke a preconfigured PHP script for everything at / under a certain location without using the .php extension in the request path?
