Question

First time using RewriteRule, so I made

RewriteRule ^details/(.*)/(.*)$ /details.php?id=$1&name=$2 [NC]

but there are some problems for images, js, etc. For example the images doesn’t work. And when I try to find the path details/3367/images/coins-icon.png

Is there a way to fix it?

I tried

RewriteRule ^details/(.*)/images/(.*)$ /images/$1

but that seems not to work.

Exclude existing files and directories from rewriting:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

Furthermore you should use <base href> or absolute url’s (starting with a forward slash /) to prevent the browser from accessing the image files based on the relative url.

So when you’re viewing the page /details/456/ and there’s an image images/456/foo.jpg on the page, the browser will search for /details/456/images/456/foo.jpg. To prevent this, use either <base href> or absolute url’s (/images/456/foo.jpg).
