I'm trying to create a url handler by using php and .htaccess, my problem is that I don't know how to use rewrite condition only if the file\directory entered in the url does not exists.

Please have a look at this RewriteCond resource.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
// ^ this means file.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
// ^ this means NOT, "d" means directory.
// Your rewrite rule here.

Note that this only works in a
<Directory> block or a .htaccess file, and not in a <VirtualHost> or root config context where the REQUEST_FILENAME has not yet been completed with a full path (since it's not known). In those contexts part of the path must be added to the test manually, since REQUEST_FILENAME will just be the same as REQUEST_URI.It's quite similar to shell scripting -d and -f functions.
Try something like that:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule XXX

That says: if requested filename is a file that exists AND is a directory that exists
'-d' (is directory) Treats the TestString as a pathname and tests whether or not it exists, and is a directory.
'-f' (is regular file) Treats the TestString as a pathname and tests whether or not it exists, and is a regular file.
prefixed by an exclamation mark ('!') to negate their meaning.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

This should do it (replace <filename>):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* <filename> [L]
It does redirection if a file, directory or link does not exist.
