[RESOLVED] problem with url rewriting

steamPunk

I've got the following stuff in my htaccess

Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On    

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?pid=$1 [QSA,L]

this idea is that it rewrites an incoming url like this

http://www.mysite.com/p/title_of_the_page

and returns this

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?pid=p/title_of_the_page

which I then process to get the required page

that all works fine except that the images in the pages are no longer showing because their urls are being rewritten too, so a link like

src="images/my-wonderful-image.jpg"

is being rewritten as

http://www.mysite.com/p/images/my-wonderful-image.jpg

and the images are not being found

has anyone got any idea what I need to do to remedy this and only rewrite urls containing "/p/" ?

thanks

add

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/images/.*

should ignore everything in /images

steamPunk

thanks for your reply

unfortunately that line doesn't seem to change anything

what I'm trying to do at the moment is to write a rule that will single out any url containing a '/p/' and then get everything after the second slash

I wrote this

RewriteRule ^.*/p/.*$ index.php?pid=$1 [QSA,L]

but it's really a stab in the dark as I'm not at all sure what I'm doing

According to waht I've read, this should work

RewriteRule ^./p/(.)$ index.php?pid=$1

(match anything before the /p/ and reference anything after the /p/ )

but it doesn't !

I'm getting there

now I'm using

RewriteRule ^p/(.*)$ index.php?pid=p/$1

it only picks up urls with /p/

however, the image problem seems to come from the fact that I'm using a relative link to the image in the html : images/myImage.jpg

so because the browser is displaying

http://www.mysite.com/p/my_page

it thinks that 'images/' is a sub directory of http://www.mysite.com/p/

when I use an absolute image url it works fine

yup i was looking at the wrong end of the stick,
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

takes cares of files that already exists anyway

thanks for your help anyway 🙂
