Another apache rewrite question...

Question

Hey,

In my scenario I redirect
"/index/../" to "/index.php?act=..".
I was wondering how can I restrict direct access to "/index.php" but still be able to redirect from "/index/../"?

P.S. "/../" is anything... it seems you can't use * there. O.o

Thanks in advance, The Devil

Add the following to your rewrite script RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php$ [NC]. This rule will fail for /index.php (but not /index.php?whatever). At least I think it will, I haven't tested it.
