php - htaccess rewrite only one folder -

i have folder in root name "pages", of html pages there, have rewrite mod, delete folder url , delete .php, www.website.com/pages/index.php, becomes: www.website.com/index.

now, problem rest of folders need in root, , when try require files folders, rewrite mod looking folders in "pages" folder , not on root folder.

i need rewrite mod on "pages" folder used, in url.

.htacces file:

options +followsymlinks rewriteengine on rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewritecond %{request_uri} !\.[a-za-z0-9]+$  rewriterule ^(.+?)/*$ $1.php [l,qsa]  #remove subfolder pages rewritecond %{request_uri} !(.*)pages  rewriterule ^(.*)$ pages/$1 [l] 

any that?

you can check existence of php file using rewritecond , forward pages/ this:

options +followsymlinks rewriteengine on rewritebase /gp/  rewritecond %{document_root}/gp/pages/$1\.php -f [nc] rewriterule ^(.+?)/?$ pages/$1.php [l]  rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewritecond %{document_root}/gp/$1\.php -f [nc] rewriterule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [l]
