htaccess changes local path to what?

[merijnvw]

Hi, I have a php page and without .htaccess(I use rewrite_mod) it implements some css and js files, that works. When using .htaccess, it won't implement them, I think it changes the standard path(I'm a beginner with .htaccess by the way). How can I change that back to how it should be? thanks.

Without some example.com type URLs, matching internal server path names, and some example code there's no way anyone could even begin to help you on this one.

Well I do it like so: when people go to example.com/klaas, they get the page example.com/index.php?id=klaas. Index.php then includes three files: header.html, klaas.html, footer.html. That works, only the inclusion of the external js and css files(from header.html) doesn't work.
I can alternatively include those directly from inside index.php i think, but it is less clean. And I would like to know why this happens.

Of course! I was being dumb. I used .htacces to change all example.com/klaas requests to example.com/index.php?id=klaas, but when an external script is included from the 'scripts' folder, that folder is of course also rewritten.
I'll now try to find out how to make an exclusion for certain folders.

[merijnvw]

got it. excluded the folders with:
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
by placing the above before the RewriteRule

One other tip.

Use

src="[b]/[/b]the-path/to-the-file.ext"

to link to resources such as images, and CSS and JS files for a trouble free life (note the leading slash).

It is the browser that resolves what URL to ask for, based on the current folder level of the URL of the currently requested HTML page.

You've chosen to use a very inefficient method, there...

Be aware that every HTTP request to your server now generates anywhere from one to four extra filesystem reads to check for 'file or directory exists." It would be a very good idea to exclude images, css, and JS files (at a minimum) from these 'exists' checks, as well as excluding 'index.php' itself...

RewriteCond $1 !^index\.php$
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|ico|css|js)$
RewriteCond $1 !^admin/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?id=$1 [L]

This example code also excludes the entire "/admin/" directory-path, just as an example.
