htaccess confusion

[mr_ego]

hey everyone ...

in my .htaccess file, i have the following code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

which basically stipulates that if someone types the address:
http://www.example.com/language/en
it will redirect them to the following address:
http://www.example.com/index.php/language/en

This works great! But the problem is, if i have files in the directory which also use this type of methodology, they're not working. For example ...

If I type the following in:
http://www.example.com/test.php/language/en
It attempts to redirect me to the following (which I dont want it to redirect me at all):
http://www.example.com/index.php/test.php/language/en

Now, I have told htaccess (using the !-f and !-d operators) that if the file exists, do not redirect - however, it's not liking the rewriting that's occuring because the filename is not an "exact match".

The script has to be flexible to allow this ...

Does anyone have any suggestions?

http://www.example.com/language/en

How about changing your logic like,

If the request is like /language/.*
 then redirect to the required file.
