+# Redirect All Requests To Index.php Using .htaccess
+
+In one of my pet projects, I redirect all requests to index.php, which then decides what to do with it:
+
+## Simple Example
+
+This snippet in your .htaccess will ensure that all requests for files and folders that does not exists will be redirected to index.php:
+
+    RewriteEngine on
+    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
+    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+    RewriteRule . index.php [L]
+
+This enables the rewrite engine:
+
+    RewriteEngine on
+
+This checks for existing folders (-d) and files (-f):
+
+    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
+    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+
+And this does the actual redirecting:
+
+    RewriteRule . index.php [L]
+
+## Extended Example
+
+You can extend this to pass the requested path to the index.php file by modifying the RewriteRule to the following:
+
+    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
+
+The ^(.*)$ part tells the rewrite module that we want to pass down the whole requested path as one parameter.
+The QSA part tells the module to append any query strings to the request.
+The ?q=$1 tells the module how to pass down the parameter. In this case, it's passed down as the q parameter.
+You can extend this even further by using regular expressions. For example:
+
+    RewriteRule ^([^/]*)(.*)$ index.php?first=$1&second=$2
+
+This will pass down the first part of the path as the first parameter, and the rest as the second. So the following request
+
+    http://yourhost.com/some/path/somewhere
+
+will result in
+
+    http://yourhost.com/index.php?first=some&second=path/somewhere
+
+This allows for some creative ways to do clean URLs.
+
+## Trouble Shooting
+
+If it's not working, make sure that mod_rewrite is installed on Apache. On a unix system you can just do
+
+    sudo a2enmod rewrite
+
+to achieve that.
