Just for your information: you can also use PHP to read your URL. Say your .htaccess is like this:

RewriteEngine on

Options -Indexes

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

Everything is redirected to index.php. In index.php, you can use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], for example, to parse the URL and load the file you wish to load.
