Question

just a quick one, I’m using this rule and it works fine:

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1

so whatever come to mysite.com/anything will be read as mysite.com/profile.php?id=anything
That’s all good.

Then I need to add another variable so I used:

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&vid=$2 

Which kind of works but it doesn’t load any css, js, external php…
I guess that’s why it’s looking in a different folder, I don’t know how to tell it get those other files from the root folder.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

That’s because you are creating virutal folders using the htaccess. If you want to load your CSS and JS properly, either use absolute paths or add ../ before your relative path (which means “one folder up”).

Another possibility is to add <base href="www.example.com">. Which will cause all new requests (for images, external files, etc) to be relative to that path, and not the current address.
