Excluding selected file extensions in a RewriteCond

[designaweb]

I use the below code in a .htaccess file. With the middle 5 lines I exclude some file extensions, but is there a better way to do this?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \/.+\/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!.*\.css
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!.*\.jpg
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!.*\.gif
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!.*\.zip
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!.*\.js
RewriteRule ^(.*)/ cheats.php?action=showtitles&platform=$1 [L]

designaweb,

I'm not sure what you mean by "a better way", but you can make it more compact:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \/.+\/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(css¦jpg¦gif¦zip¦js)
RewriteRule ^(.*)/ cheats.php?action=showtitles&platform=$1 [L]

(Remember to replace any broken vertical pipe "¦" characters in code posted on WebmasterWorld with a solid vertical pipe characters before use!)
