如何重组 htaccess 以允许主页？

Question

Ok so I have a site that has tons of pages and I want to create a php file fore each one...this works great..here is what i have, code wise

Here is my htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [L]

here is my index.php file

$parts = explode('/', $_REQUEST['url']);

switch ($parts[count($parts) - 1]) {
    case 'restaurant':
    include "pages/restaurant.php";
        break;
    case 'retail':
    include "pages/retail.php";
        break;  
        .......
        .......

}

this works great and if i visit the url http://someurl.com/restaurant the proper file in pages/restaurant.php pulls up. The only problem is the home page http://someurl.com when i visit it i get a:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /structure on this server.

Is there a way to fix this in the .htaccess to address this issue and should i create a file maybe called home.php in the pages folder or should i just put the content of the home page in the index file in an else condition...any ideas

Answer 1

You forgot to specify a default switch case?

switch ($parts[count($parts) - 1]) {
case 'restaurant':
include "pages/restaurant.php";
    break;
case 'retail':
include "pages/retail.php";
    break;  
default:
include "pages/default_page.php";
    break;
    .......
    .......
}

Answer 2

1. Use this rule somewhere before existing rules:

RewriteRule ^$ index.php?url=home [L]

2. Create pages/home.php

3. Add this to your switch statement:

case 'home':
include "pages/home.php";
    break;

PS I do not recommend using default: to handle home page. default: should be used to handle 404 page / unknown pages ONLY .

Answer 3

Do you have a default statement in that switch ? My bet is you don't.

Answer 4

DirectoryIndex index.php

Do you have this code in your httpd.conf or .htaccess?

It seems like your default file is not index.php
