So I turned on Apache ReWrite and I created a file and I put in rules like: (just a small subset)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/php(.*) [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/phpmy(.*) [NC,OR]

.snip

2. I know I can simplify these rules. Wouldn't RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/php(.*) [NC,OR] get most of the attempts for thinks like /php, /php-myadmin, /phpmyadmin-2.0.8.8, etc?

3. Is there a better way to right these rules?

I wrote about my approch some time ago ...
