I am using following mod_rewrite rule:

  **RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI}.php -f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]**

to get clean url such as

  www.myweb.com/login

from

 www.myweb.com/login.php

I am using another rewrite rule

**RewriteRule ^itemdetail/([0-9]+)/?$ itemdetail.php?itemid=$1 [NC,L]**

to get

 www.myweb.com/itemdetail/100008

from 

 www.myweb.com/itemdetail?itemid=100008.

This works fine but there is one problem. This rewrite rule add a subdomain on every link. for example. if the link to css file is text.css now the link to this css file is itemdetail/text.css. The link to home page is now http://www.myweb.com/itemdetail/home instead of http://www.myweb.com/home. What am I doing wrong here. Please help.

    This rewrite rule add a subdomain on every link. for example. if the link to css file is text.css now the link to this css file is itemdetail/text.css. The link to home page is now http://www.myweb.com/itemdetail/home instead of http://www.myweb.com/home. What am I doing wrong here.

    You can do one of two things to deal with this, either add this to the header of your itemdetail.php pages (inside the <head> </head> tags):

    <base href="/">

    Or you can change your css links from relative to absolute URLs by adding a leading /, example:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/text.css" type="text/css">

    Otherwise, you could try adding rewrite rules to un-write the css links, but that’s usually a really bad idea, as it’ll break css in subdirectories when you are intentionally using them:

    RewriteRule ^itemdetail/(.*?)\.css$ /$1.css [L]
