I use mod_rewrite to write pages created dynamically from a basic .php file (keywords.php) to .html or .htm extensions.
To do this, my sites typically use the following .htaccess located in the root directory;
# -------------------------------------------------------------
# Redirect any .html file to /keywords.php
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule .html$ /keywords.php [L]
# -------------------------------------------------------------
I now find I need to create a different set of pages, and do to this had intended to create a number of sub-directories with their own .htaccess files which would (so I thought), over-write the root .htaccess file and use the content of their own keywords.php .
Unfortunately, it seems that lower .htaccess files don't overwrite higher ones if they're identical in structure.
To get around this, I experimented with the following alternatives to the original .htaccess file - the first trying to limit the command to the root directory only, the second specifically excluding a named sub-directory;
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!/.*/
RewriteRule .html$ /keywords.php [L]
-----------------------------------------------------
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!/subfoldername/
RewriteRule .html$ /keywords.php [L]
Neither alternative works - the root directory .htaccess continues to over-ride the lower ones.
Anyone got any suggestions as to how I can work around this?
Many thanks,
Erika.
