Hi,
Need to redirect people who try and directly access pdf files on our server to a html wrapper page which has 2 frames one at the top with navigation to the rest of our site and another to contain the PDF file.

eg. if someone visits the link

"www.ourdomain.com/file.pdf"

need to rewrite it to

"www.ourdomain.com/wrapper.php?filename=file.pdf"

Did manage to get something sort of working but it would always loop so you would end up with nested frame pages everytime the frames source was set to file.pdf it would rewrite to the php page. Not sure how to stop this.

Thanks in advance

To save a lot of time, guesswork, and errors, please post your code that looped.

Code I have already cobbled together

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.(pdf)$ /wrapper.php?pdffile=$0 [R]
