I mean, if somebody surfs to this URL: http://example.com//////example.video Do you really want that to hit ../../phpscript.php This probably will not fix your bug, mind you, but it's probably worth trying just to see. I think you could also lose all those ()s in the Regex, as you don't seem to be doing anything with them. Or perhaps mod_rewrite collects them and passes them in to phpscript.php somehow? You could also consider using: [^/]* instead of . because, after all, .* does match /, so maybe you are confusing the Regex so that: //////////example.video actually matches your pattern, even though you really don't want it to. I haven't used mod_rewrite enough to know what pattern system it uses, so I could be full of [bleep] here. If all else fails, consider not using mod_rewrite at all, and having a ForceType on some convenient directory to change that directory into a PHP script. For example, suppose you now have: ~/videos/*.video with a zillion video files in there for the * mkdir video_files mv videos/*.video video_files rmdir videos cp phpscript.php videos echo -e "<Files videos>\nForceType application/x-httpd-php\n</Files>" > .htaccess Now, your "videos" directory is *REALLY* your phpscript.php, but it just *looks* like a directory in the URL. You'd need to change phpscript.php to read the videos (or whatever it does to them) from "/video_files/" instead of where they are now. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
