mod_rewrite Directory Problem

I'm trying to replace a PHP query string with virtual directories using
Apache's mod_rewrite. Here's my test .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^qqq$ database.php?ca t=0
RewriteRule ^qqq/xxx$ database.php?ca t=0

The problem is that database.php contains several relative paths to
images. This means mydomain/qqq works fine and all the images are found
but when typing mydomain/qqq/xxx the file database.php seems to think it
is in the xxx directory and cannot find the images.

What, apart from not using relative paths in database.php, can be done
to make things work correctly so that database.php always thinks it is
in the root directory and finds the images?

Regards

R.

Define your image directory in .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^qqq/images/(.*)$ images/$1

Hello, I am running RedHat & Apache. RedHat does not allow creating more that 32000 subdirectories in one folder due to #defined constant limitation in the core code. I need to display 47000 directories on web page: e.g. mydomain.com/andrew , mydomain.com/bill , etc. Each directory contains .html/htm files and image files (*.jpg, *gif, jpeg etc.)

Hi, I'm struggling to find an answer to my problem. In order to make my dynamic URLs search engine friendly, I need to replace spaces (%20) that appear in the URL with a dash "-".
