禁用URL中的匹配目录

Question

I have wrote simple application based on MVC with simple router. Every request is sending to index.php and matching to correct controller but for example when I have "/controller" in URL - server is matching this to directory "controller" not to index.php. Is any posibility to disable matching directory which exists on server ?

Here is my .htaccess

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [NC,L]

Answer 1

Remove

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

Then /controller will also be rewritten to index.php

Explanation: The RewriteRule will only be applied when the 2 Conditions ( RewriteCond ) before match. And one of the Conditions checks if the current Path isn't a existing directory. So if you have a directory controller the condition won't match and the rewrite rule is not applied --> Request is accessing directly the controller folder
