Mod_Rewrite Help

This is too tricky for me to figure out ...not sure it can be done.

I want my URL structure to look like:
http://example.com/foo/
http://example.com/bar/

and call:
http://example.com/index.php?page=foo
http://example.com/index.php?page=bar

That part's easy, but I want one folder (where I store images, JavaScript, CSS, etc) to be ignored.

Let's assume it is:
http://example.com/lib/

...and my sub-folders are:
http://example.com/lib/img/
http://example.com/lib/css/
etc...

Is there a way to do this while ignoring /lib/?

 

I'm thinking this might work, but I don't have an environment to test it in. Just a live server. Could someone verify?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^lib/$ lib/
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?page=$1 [L]

Will Apache stop running rules after the first match?

 

Actually... I remembered I had an unused domain and tested it. My solution was mostly correct. I was just missing an [L]

Here's the solution if anyone has the same issue:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^lib/$ lib/ [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?page=$1 [L]

 

Hey, Odd! Thanks for all the help ;-)

 

You need to add "RewriteRule ^lib/(.*)/$ lib/$1/ [L]" to include sub-directories under your library ("lib"). Otherwise, those directories will redirect as well.

The code will look like this.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^lib/(.*)/$ lib/$1/ [L]
RewriteRule ^lib/$ lib/ [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
