Directory Aliases

Anon

Is there some Apache property that redirects all requests to a certain directory (or file under that directory) to a php script?

While I have this working on Solaris, with no explicit property set in httpd.conf or .htaccess or anything (as far as I can tell), it doesn't work on WinNT/Apache/PHP3.

What I want is for all references to

http://localhost/library/x/y/z.html

to goto my script in

/library.php

Thanks.

The Apache guys did include the Redirect command to tell your visitors where to look for the relocated document:

Redirect library/x/y/z.html /library.php

Put that anywhere in your httpd.conf, and you'll enable a redirect for that page. You could also use meta tags on the library/x/y/z.html page to automatically transport visitors to that new page.

I don't think redirects are what I'm looking for -- I just don't need it for one file.

Basically, every file with

/library/

in it goes to the library.php script,which then serves dynamic content, based on the path.

/library/x.html
/library/x/y.html
/library/x/y/z/abc.html
/library/whatever/i/want.html

all go thru the same library.php script.

I know this is possible with the solaris version of apache and it seems the default behavior. How do I get this working on windows???

I tried the suggestions from

but they do not work on windows.

I did and it doesn't work for windows. Hence the question. Tim suggested to start trying various combinations of back slashes for the path instead of forward slashes. I'll try that next.
