All examples need this code:

<code>
RewriteEngine On
</code>

Rewrite conditions are cumulative, and will redirect when a ''RewriteRule'' is given.

Rewrite conditions also execute in listed order, so if the first one matches it will redirect, and the second one won't be read.

You can use perl regular expressions.

=== Examples ===

== Match URLs that are not ''server-status'' or ''server-info'' ==

<code>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/server-(status|info)/?$
</code>

== Add a new environment variable ==

You can access this in PHP through the $_SERVER array.

<code>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} steve\.php$
RewriteRule . - [E=VARIABLE_NAME:variable_value,L]
</code>
