Question

I have a directory structure like this

/ub/
/ub/img/
/ub/inc/

Basically I want to change my img URL to it’s parent directory (ub),

When i access http://localhost/ub/mypic.jpg

First, it has to check /ub/img/mypic.jpg, if exist then get that file and pass to the browser, if not then just pass it to http://localhost/ub/index.php?img=mypic.jpg with INTERNAL REDIRECTION.

Second, index.php will create mypic.jpg and store it to /ub/img/, then pass mypic.jpg to the browser.

So, whether the file is exist or not, the browser will only have http://localhost/ub/mypic.jpg as the URL

So far, i have this on my .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/ub/img/$1 -f
RewriteRule .+ /ub/img/$1 [L]

I have 2 days to find out the solution, but, it doesn’t seem to work,

Thanks,

EDIT :

Hey, I’ve got this, The request to http://localhost/ub/app/file.php is already passed to index.php?uri=app/file.php as i expected,

but the request to http://localhost/ub/img/mypic.jpg is not passed to index.php?uri=img/mypic.jpg. Is there any solution?

Options -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ub/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ([^/]+)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}ub/img/%1 -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ img/%1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ([^/]+)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}ub/inc/%1 -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ inc/%1 [L]

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?uri=$1 [QSA,L]

Try something like this (place it in .htaccess in the /ub folder):

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /ub/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ([^/]+\.jpg)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/ub/img/%1 -f
RewriteRule .+ - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?img=$1
