mod rewrite

[arcmax]

Hello,

facing a unique problem I am able to generate dynamic url strings from the database www.xyz.com/books/ or www.xyz.com/computers/ however what is happening is that when i call for an image images/abc.gif and if the url for that pages is www.xyz.com/books/ then the the path to the image becomes www.xyz.com/books/ images/abc.gif. Basically the images doesn't show up as the path does not exist physically.

How do i solve this without having to actually put it manually for every image file being called

http://www.xyz.com/images/abc.gif/

any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Apurva M

If I understand the problem correctly, you could try two things:

1. Redirect requests to /(anything)/images/ to /images/ when the directory doesn't exist:

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule [^/]+/images(/.*)? /images$1

2. Use absolute URI's in your HTML:

   <img src="/images/abc.gif">
