Apache redirect .js request to PHP request

Question

I am trying to serve a JavaScript response from a JavaScript request using PHP.

Assuming that the request is embedded into the HTML source as

<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"http://www.mydomain.com/generatejs.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"></script>

And i have a PHP script that is called generatejs.js.php which outputs more JavaScript code

The Apache rewrite condition/rule are

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

But I am getting a 404 when trying to access http://www.mydomain.com/generatejs.js. Can someone please help me with the missing bit? :)

You could just reference the PHP file directly. <script src="file.php"> style. — Jeff Parker

Do you mean this?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^generatejs.js$ generatejs.js.php

Your RewriteRule is not matching /generatejs.js because of the [^\.]+ (which is anything BUT a .) So, if you update it to the following, you should have better luck:

RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)\.js$ $1.js.php [NC,L]

Hope this helps.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.js$ $1.js.php [NC,L]

Now every smth.js file is redirected to smth.js.php
