htaccess rewrite URL does not work with codeigniter code

Question

I am trying to rewrite URLS so that /foo -> index.php.

index.php is powered by codeigniter 3. bar.php is a stand alone php file.

This is a snipped from my .htac

Take a look at https://gist.github.com/keithmorris/3023560

This includes a fairly standard htaccess file that I use on all my projects. You then use the CI routing functionality to define where different bits go.

Bear in mind with CI you can pass additional elements in a url such as example.com/foo1/foo2/foo3/query1/query2.
