Need help. Info inside

[Washi]

Hi,

I've spent the last, oh 3 or 4 hours looking for this kind of thing, but I didn't find anything that helped, so here I am.

I have a dynamic PHP site. indexx.php is in the main directory, and the files that are included (text files) are in a directory called inc.

Basically, indexx.php is the layout, and the files inside inc/ are the text.

Now, most of my links are something like http://subdomain.mydomain.com/indexx.ph ... s=whatever

What I would like to find is a rewrite that allows people who want to access, for instance

http://subdomain.mydomain.com/inc/whatever.php

to be directly redirected to

http://subdomain.mydomain.com/indexx.ph ... s=whatever

so that the layout can be seen.

I have checked out about 30 kinds of htaccess, and none of the codes worked. Thanks.

have a try on

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^inc/(.+)\.php /index.php?shadows=$1 [L]

in your .htaccess in the doc root

Ok, I just tried that, and it does give me some elements of the page, but not all, and the address is still

http://subdomain.domain.com/inc/file.php

The images don't show. Do I need to put the whole layout style in there?
Thanks.

so you're looking for a forced external redirect, not an internal one?

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^inc/(.+)\.php /index.php?shadows=$1 [R,L]

Add the R-Flag for an temporary redirect (statuscode 302) or add [R=301,L] for a permanent redirect
