From another forum,

Hello all,

After a couple of late nights of intense focus on URI rewriting I am now ready to show you my 'code baby' up for some scrutiny. I am not after a ready made fix, but some helpful pointers to adapt the code if neccesary would be great. I can work from there, but keep in mind that until 3 days ago my knowledge was 0. Thanks to all for all previous useful posts&answers and tutorials at webmasterworld.

This is what I wanted:

rewrite

http://www.example.com/year1969
plus
http://www.example.com/summerof/year1969

to

http://www.example.com/index.php?page=year1969
and
http://www.example.com/index.php?page=summerof_year1969
resp.

And this is how I achieved this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
rewriteEngine on

rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!(\.(gif¦jpg¦css)¦/index\.php)$
rewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index\.php?page=$1
rewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index\.php?page=$1_$2 [L]

Although all my links to imgs and the css are relative to the server I did run into some problems with some of my images not being shown. Only when I moved the images to a deeper directory (from /images/ to /images/images2/ and changed the link correspondingly they were shown [strange].

Could someone shine a light on why only the deeper dir. structure for images would work? Also, any comments on the rewrite will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Not sure where your non-working images were originally located, but here's a guess: Because a rewriteCond applies only to the first rewriteRule that follows it, your second rule is unconditional, and will rewrite images in any first-level subdirectory (i.e. /SubdirectoryName/ImageName.ImageType) to /index.php?page=SubdirectoryName_ImageName.ImageTyp e

There are several ways to fix this problem. Here are three of them.

Repeat the rewriteCond:

rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.(gif¦jpg¦css)$¦^/index\.php$)
rewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index\.php?page=$1
#
rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.(gif¦jpg¦css)$¦^/index\.php$)
rewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index\.php?page=$1_$2 [L]

-or-

Stop mod_rewrite processing & exit if image or index.php requested:

rewriteRule \.(gif¦jpg¦css)$¦^index\.php$ - [L]
#
rewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index\.php?page=$1
rewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index\.php?page=$1_$2 [L]

-or-

Skip only these two rules if image or index.php requested; Resume execution of any subsequent rules:

rewriteRule \.(gif¦jpg¦css)$¦^index\.php$ - [S=2]
#
rewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index\.php?page=$1
rewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index\.php?page=$1_$2 [L]

Replace the broken pipe "¦" characters above with solid pipe characters before use; Posting on this forum modifies the pipe characters.

Hope this helps.

not really :S stil cant make head or tails of it, all im thinking is that if the htaccess re-writes that file from

profile/id/hash

to

profile.php?id=id&hash=hash

then why dont the images sort them selves i need some serious help with this coding

Thanks
Mike

Try adding this ....

rewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

[smithygotlost]

no difference atall unless i added it wrong

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([^/]+) http://eveninghorrors.com/profile.php?id=$1&hash=$2 [NC]

[Nico]

Remove the domain name including the http part.

[smithygotlost]

same difference

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([^/]+) profile.php?id=$1&hash=$2 [NC]
