Quick RewriteCond help

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(forum|images) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ core.php

Code (markup):

I want to redirect everything to core.php, unless it is in a few different directories (in this case forum/ or images/), but that doesn't seem to work

In other words,

/f/f/f -> core.php
/foru2m/index -> core.php
/forum/index.php -> stays normal
/images/image.png -> stays normal

Thanks for any help

 

I believe REQUEST_URI will begin with a forward slash.

 

It does, and I tried adding the slash but that didn't work either

 

Don't create a loop. Rewrite process keeps repeating itself until no RewriteCond matches or process is stopped explicitly by L flag.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(forum|images) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /core.php [[color=red]L[/color]]
