Question

I have an auto-watermarking script on my website, and the .htaccess file uses this line to redirect all images to the watermark.php file, which watermarks them. That I all have working, except the .htaccess line also redirects things like .js. So now my jQuery doesn’t work anymore. The line is this:

RewriteRule ^([^thumb].*\.[jJ].*)$ watermark.php?src=$1

I didn’t write it, I copied it from somewhere. I think it has to do with the jJ (for .js), but how can I change that to still work with images, but not JS files?

Answer 1

The above regex matches any file whose extension begins with j or J, and whose filename doesn’t consist entirely of t‘s h‘s u‘s m‘s and b‘s. Not exactly what they were going for I don’t think.

RewriteRule ^(.*\.(?:jpe?g|bmp|gif|png|tiff?))$ watermark.php?src=$1

will rewrite anything with the extension:

• jpeg
• jpg
• bmp
• gif
• png
• tiff
• tif
