Hi, I've been working on a custom CMS solution and I'm trying to get generic url matching working in .htaccess.

This is my attempt.. if the file or directory doesn't exist then rewrite

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ([0-9a-zA-Z_\-]+)/?([^.\/]+)[\.html|\.htm] file.php?input=$1,$2,$3,$4,$5

It will match /go/ and /go/index.html

Unfortunately it doesn't really work as much as I'd like

This is what I want it to match..

level 1

/ -> file.php?input[]=
/page.html -> file.php?input[]=page
/page.htm -> file.php?input[]=page
/folder -> file.php?input[]=folder
/folder/ -> file.php?input[]=folder
/folder.test -> file.php?input[]=folder.test
/folder.test/ -> file.php?input[]=folder.test

level 2

/folder/page -> file.php?input[]=folder&input[]=page
/folder/page/ -> file.php?input[]=folder&input[]=page
/folder/site.html -> file.php?input[]=folder&input[]=site
/folder/site.htm -> file.php?input[]=folder&input[]=site

level 3

/folder/page/variable -> file.php?input[]=folder&input[]=page&input[]=variable
/folder/page/variable/ -> file.php?input[]=folder&input[]=page&input[]=variable
/folder/page/variable.html -> file.php?input[]=folder&input[]=page&input[]=variable
/folder/page/variable.htm -> file.php?input[]=folder&input[]=page&input[]=variable

etc.. I'm not sure how many levels it is possible to do but there would usually be no more than 5

Any regex geniuses out there ready for a challenge? :)

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond $1 !-f
RewriteCond $1 !-d
RewriteRule (([\w/-]+)(\.html?)?$) /file.php?input=$2 [L]

and explode("/",$_GET['input']) in file.php
