Question

I’m unable to get a working .htaccess that should accept clean URLs to load images. I mean, for example, if a user type this:

http://mysite.com/image/example

It works perfectly, as my PHP process and parse it. However, if the user type:

…/image/example.jpg

It doesn’t work. I mean, if a user writes that, I want to load the module with the example.jpg as a parameter, I don’t want to load the image at all!

Thanks in advance.

If you have a directory called “image” and files (such as example.jpg) in this directory then htaccess will allow the user to view the file if you have the line: “RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f” in your htaccess file.

“RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f” means the htaccess file will accepts urls if they point to a file. Try removing this line from you htaccess if you have it in there.

Hope this helps
