htaccess for multiple optional parameters

Question

My mission is to achieve

http://localhost/projectname/media/video

from

http://localhost/projectname/index.php?m=media&cmd=video

and also

http://localhost/projectname/home

http://localhost/projectname/index.php?m=home

Below the files helps to achieve my mission

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /projectname/index.php?m=$1 
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /projectname/index.php?m=$1&cmd=$2

the thing is that any external files such as javascript and css would not be taken into play.

i know my alternative is to put this is htaccess

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/cmd/([^/]*)$ /projectname/index.php?m=$1&cmd=$2

which enables http://localhost/projectname/media/cmd/video

I would like to make it without the CMD. Any suggestions?

Change your rules to this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ projectname/index.php?m=$1&cmd=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/?$ projectname/index.php?m=$1 [L,QSA]

And make sure your js, css, images files are using absolute path not the relative ones. Which means their paths should either start with http:// or /.

Yes that's correct, just make sure every RewriteRule is ending with L flag.

why not just pass everything to index.php and then handle/parse the path, e.g.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Then use

$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']
$_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']
