Hi,

I am using URL rewriting for my website so my urls look like that:

mywebsite.com/section/categorie/id.html

My .htaccess file is :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*).html index.php?section=$1&categorie=$2&id=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/ index.php?section=$1&categorie=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/ index.php?section=$1 [L]

It works OK but I can't access my images in the directory /images/ because it rewrites it and think I want $section = "images"

Can someone help?

Thanks

I'm a little rusty, but would something like this work? (Granted you never have a $section == "images" scenario)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*!(images))/(.*).html index.php?section=$1&categorie=$2&id=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*!(images))/ index.php?section=$1&categorie=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/ index.php?section=$1 [L]

Not a bad try CouponGuy, but there is a little more flexable method reguardless of the directory name. This is untested on my end, but it should be good, or may need a little tweaking.

RewriteEngine on
 
# if url is pointing to a valid file, allow it:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
 
# if url is pointing to a valid dir, allow it:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
 
# continue rewrites:
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)\.html$ index.php?section=$1&categorie=$2&id=$3&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/ index.php?section=$1&categorie=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/ index.php?section=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Hey, that's a great idea! Way to be dynamic!
