With mod_rewrite can I specify a RewriteBase within a RewriteCond?

Question

I\'d like to have my .htaccess file specify a different RewriteBase depending on whether the .htaccess file is on my local machine or on a web server. This is the mod_rewri

Answer 1

The only solution we finally found looks like that :

# Activation of the URL Rewriting
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On

# RewriteBase equivalent - Production
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^localhost$
RewriteRule . - [E=REWRITEBASE:/production/path/]

# RewriteBase equivalent - Development
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost$
RewriteRule . - [E=REWRITEBASE:/development/path/]

# Rewriting
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}index.php?page=$1 [L]

This code offers a way to simulate differents "RewriteBase".
