From: "Godmar Back" is it possible to write this without hardwiring the RewriteBase in it? So that it can be used, for instance, in an .htaccess file from within any /path? Yes, you can put it into a .htaccess file, and the URL rewrite will apply on that directory only. Péter http://extensib

You probably could if you get real tricky with the regex code - but I would say probably not. rewrite takes the entire url into consideration - so you need to denote where to start with the rewrite base. I use this for vufind: RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.+)$ index.php?module=$1&action=$2 [L,QSA] Whic

Apache docs say: "*Notice:* If your webserver's URLs are *not* directly related to physical file paths, you have to use |RewriteBase| in every |.htaccess| files where you want to use |RewriteRule| directives." So probably not. I don't use .htaccess files that much myself. But I've run into
