.htaccess problem with path

[netmastan]

Hi,

I'm trying to add search engine user friendly url.

I've urls like this

index.php?m=products
index.php?m=product&op=productDetails&id=27

So, i''ve added this code

Options +FollowSymlinks
# deny most common except .php
<FilesMatch "\.(inc|tpl|h|ihtml|sql|ini|conf|class|bin|spd|themes|module|exe)$">
deny from all
</FilesMatch>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index.html index.php
RewriteRule ^product/([1-9][0-9]*) index.php?m=product&op=productDetails&id=$1
RewriteRule ^product index.php?m=product

This works great. But i can't see the images. Because in template images,javascript and css path like this
themes/mytheme/header.gif. After adding .htaccess web page looks for http://mysite/product/themes/mytheme/header.gif instead of http://mysite/themes/mytheme/header.gif.
Only way to fix is add base tag in the header or have products.html instead of product

#base solution
<base href="http://mysite/" />
or change htaccess

RewriteRule ^product.html index.php?m=product

Is there any better solution

Regards

Maybe you won't like my suggestion, but I recommend writing all image (and javascript, css files, etc) using path from document root (ie starting with '/'). I define a BASE_PATH and just smack it infront of everything

<img src="<?php print BASE_PATH;?>/images/something.jpg">

So on my development environment the BASE_PATH might be
define('BASE_PATH', '/path/to/this/project');

and on the live site maybe its just
define('BASE_PATH', '');
