PHP htaccess rewrite URL with parameters while keeping index page

Question

I have been looking for a solution, but can't find one.

The problem is the following:

I have a directory on my website, for example domain.com/directory/. I made a custom CMS with custom URL's that are added after directory/, like for example domain.com/directory/example-page. I used htaccess to rewrite the URL of directory/post.php?url=xxx to directory/xxx

The problem is that it is not working, since I have an index.php file I want to keep using.

I fixed it by doing it like this:

RewriteRule ^directory/subdirectory/(.*)$ directory/post.php?url=$1 [NC,L] [QSA]

But I don't want to use the extra subdirectory in the URL.

So, how can I rewrite directory/post.php?url=xxx to directory/xxx while keeping directory/ working with index.php?

I know it sounds complicated, but I have been looking for a solution for days.

Thanks in advance!

Is your htaccess located in root?

You can use the following rule

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^directory/([^/.]+)/?$ /directory/post.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

Not sure if I understand the issue correctly, but this should work;

RewriteRule    ^directory/?$    /index.php?url=test

Thanks for your suggestion, but the problem is I want to see my index.php page when visiting domain.com/directory/ as usual, but I also want to redirect directory/post.php?url=xxx to directory/xxx

@SenneVandenputte This should work, but you need to add it as an additional rule before the other one. This rule will pass onto index.php if there is nothing after directory/ and it needs a [L] flag to tell it to stop processing further rules. If there is anything after directory/, this rule will fail and the next will be processed.

@JonathanKuhn Thanks, but it's still not really what I'm looking for. I'll give exactly what I'm looking for. mydomain.com/guides/ contains a section of my website with guides and info on a specific topic. When visiting this URL, you are shown the index page, which is normal. There are also other files like guides/buying-guides and guides/training-guides, all rewritten to remove .php. Now, I have a post.php which uses parameters to be rewritten. So I need domain.com/guides/post.php?url=example to become domain.com/guides/example, while keeping my other files reachable as well.
