.htaccess - How to redirect all urls to url.php except index.php

Question

RewriteEngine On    # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule    .    url.php    [NC,L]    

I'm redirecting all the requests to url.php but I want to leave index.php as is.

Answer 1

# Turn On ReWrite Engine
RewriteEngine On

# Exclude url.php and index.php from redirecting
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(index|url)\.php

# Redirect to url.php
RewriteRule . url.php [NC,L]

Answer 2

This'll do the trick:

RewriteEngine On    # Turnon the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^/index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule    .    url.php    [NC,L]
