RewriteRule only if directory or file does not exists

Question

I'm trying to create a url handler by using php and .htaccess, my problem is that I don't know how to use rewrite condition only if the file\directory entered in the url does not exists.

Answer 1

Please have a look at this RewriteCond resource.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
//                                ^ this means file.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
//                              ^ this means NOT, "d" means directory.
// Your rewrite rule here.
