Nope  mod rewrite is an Apache module and has nothing to do with PHP   To activate the module  the following line in httpd conf needs to be active   LoadModule rewrite module modules mod rewrite so   to see whether it is already active  try putting a  htaccess file into a web directory containing the line  RewriteEngine on   if this works without throwing a 500 internal server error  and the  htaccess file gets parsed  URL rewriting works

Just a fyi for people enabling mod rewrite on Debian with Apache2    To check whether mod rewrite is enabled    Look in mods enabled for a link to the module by running   ls  etc apache2 mods-enabled   grep rewrite   If this outputs rewrite load then the module is enabled   Note  your path to apache2 may not be  etc   though it s likely to be    To enable mod rewrite if it s not already   Enable the module  essentially creates the link we were looking for above    a2enmod rewrite   Reload all apache config files   service apache2 restart
