mod_rewrite, HELP!

danielneri

I've been trying to setup mod_rewrite for the longest time and somehow I manage to screw it up every single time I try.

I want to setup up in this way:
I have a tutorials script, which needs 3 vars as of now. (Cat)(id)(view or not)
So the url looks like this right now - tutorials.php?cat=php&id=1&act=view

I tried setting it up so you can view the following:
/tutorials/ - tutorials.php
/tutorials/php/ - tutorials.php?cat=$1
/tutorials/php/1/ - tutorials.php?cat=$1&id=$2&act=view

But the style sheets would get all messed up and none of the images would get parsed so it was super annoying.

What's the right way to do this?

Thanks!

I had the same problem with one of my scripts. Check your stylesheet link. Once you head into another folder your link would need to change or you would need to put the stylesheet into that folder.

if you use
[PHP]
include ('stylesheet.css');
[/PHP]
in your header,when your the page referencing it is

www.whatever.com/home/page1.php

then your include will actually look in

www.whatever.com/home/stylesheet.css

for the stylesheet being included

You would need to use
[PHP]
include ('http://www.whatever.com/stylesheet.css');
[/PHP]
Or whatever the actual link to the stylesheet was.

Hope this helps

i don't include the stylesheet via php, just the normal meta way.

i guess putting a single (/) in front of it would fix the problem?

I'm not sure as I haven't used the META way in a while. I usually have more than one included so it's easier to do it the PHP way.

If it doesn't work then a full link would.
