Configuring .htaccess for PHP-s

Question

i have wordpress on the root of the server. .htaccess is below.
I would like to place a PHP file - say RR.PHP- or even a folder - say RR_FOLDER - holding PHP files at the server's root.
I do not manage to get along with specifying the correct Rewrite rule to achieve that.
Trying the following yields various errors: 404, 501 302

RewriteRule ^rr.php$
RewriteRule ^rr.php$ {full_path}/rr.php

I also appended [R] flag which did not help.
What did I miss?

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

If you have php files sitting in your root, the !-f check will fail and wordpress will ignore them, you don't need any special rules. — Jon Lin

You can try these rules:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(rr\.php)$ full_path/$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

That is your rewrite rule should come before WP standard rules.
