multiple .htaccess rewrite rules for custom PHP MVC framework

Question

I am trying to build a custom PHP MVC framework, I want to do the following using .htaccess rewrite

localhost/mvc/page1 OR localhost/mvc/page1/
To this
localhost/mvc/index/view/page1

AND

localhost/mvc/blog OR localhost/mvc/blog/
To this
localhost/mvc/blog/index

AND

localhost/mvc/blog/blog1 OR localhost/mvc/blog/blog1/
To this
localhost/mvc/blog/view/blog1

here index and blog are controllers

Below is what I have tried so far

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?rt=index/view/$1 [L,QSA]

This redirects localhost/mvc/page1 To localhost/mvc/index/view/page1

So basically, I want to have different rewrite conditions for different controllers. So when I will add a new controller I will keep adding condition to htaccess file as well.

This is a code behind redirect (URL should not change),. and everything behind localhost/mvc/ should be reflected in GET $_GET['rt'] parameter

How to achieve this??

Have it this way:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /mvc/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

RewriteRule ^(blog)/?$ index.php?rt=$1/index [L,NC,QSA] 

RewriteRule ^(blog)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?rt=$1/view/$2 [L,NC,QSA] 

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?rt=index/view/$1 [L,QSA]

Thanks so much.. that worked :).. so whenever I want to add a new controller, I have to add the redirect rule before that default index rule right??

Yes that's right, last rule is catch-all controller.

Just for curiosity .. How to redirect if I have something like localhost/mvc/blog/blog1/edit to localhost/mvc/blog/view/blog1/edit

Then change 2nd rule to RewriteRule ^(blog)/(.+)/?$ index.php?rt=$1/view/$2 [L,NC,QSA]
