where to place htaccess file for php MVC

I'm building a php MVC application from scratch, that is I'm building my own framework as a part of a project. I read tutorials and it says that i have to modify the htaccess file and include it in the application root.

My project is inside htdocs of xammp i have it like this so far

htdocs
 开发者_开发知识库    MvcApplication

I will include the corresponding directories suchas Controllers, Views etc. What I don't understand is where do i include the htaccess that will apply only to THIS specific project.

Thanks!

the .htaccess file goes right inside the htdocs folder.

In the root directory of your project.

So if http://localhost/index.php maps to c:\project\index.php, put it in c:\project.
