.htaccess
My .htaccess is kinda like a route if you compare it to Laravel. I want to optimize this but not sure how.
Here is what I am doing:
So I am passing 1, 2 or possible 3 params on the URL. Anyway to make this less code and possible a catch all deal?
My URL would look like:
http://localhost/parm1/parm2/parm3 but not all have 2 or 3 parms
http://localhost/parm1
http://localhost/parm1/parm2
http://localhost/parm1/parm2/parm3
etc...
Here is what I am doing:
RewriteRule ^dashboard/?$ index.php?section=dashboard [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^edituser/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?section=edituser&id=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^editroom/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?section=editroom&id=$1&id2=$2 [NC,L]So I am passing 1, 2 or possible 3 params on the URL. Anyway to make this less code and possible a catch all deal?

What you are actually want to achieve with this? Could you please explain more
I think you're on the ball when you say "is like a router". That's exactly what you're trying to do. By the same token, a router is much easier to implement in your code than it is in mod_rewrite. I recommend moving this from your htaccess to a true routing component in your application.

Thanks Steve,
I am mainly using htaccess to get the nice SEO affect. I already have my code routing nicely and uses a DB to figure out where goes where and who has access. I could do this without htaccess but then I loose the SEO affect. My htaccess file is getting long and was wondering if it can be somewhat automatic but if not I don't mind adding lines to it.

I started thinking and the ones that has a 2nd or 3rd param the name I pass to my PHP are different but the 1st one is the most common my script will use so by using your example I was able to remove 29 rules and future one line rules I won't have to insert. Thanks!!!
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]*)$ index.php?section=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]*)$ index.php?section=$1 [NC,L]
