Hi, Muad I guess that you have a cms (would be nice to name it if it's not a custom one) that handles all requests coming into the system. Think now of How you know if the requested uri is a missing-image and write it down as mod_rewrite rule. Is this the only line you have in your .htaccess-script? What does the cms with the request if the file is available? Does the cms here just works like a proxy or is it doing some other magic? May it checks some permissions first before it ships the file? If you want to ungo passing requests for images to the cms, I'd do it like this: It checkes if the request is pointing to a directory where only images (or downloadable files) are located and lets apache do the rest to provide the file. Or check for file-endings ... RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png)$ - [L] You can then guess that all files ending with .jpeg, .jpg, .gif, .png or similar are pictures, bypass the cms and let apache ship the file or apaches 404-page if not available. But this has nothing to do with PHP itself but is an apache-configuration. Here's a beginner guide where I copied the line above: http://www.workingwith.me.uk/articles/scripting/mod_rewrite Bye Simon On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 5:55 PM, muad shibani <muad.shibani@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi there > > how I can ignore [missing] images and other files completely in .htaccess > from being processed by the index.php file > > > > RewriteRule .* index.php [L] > > the CMS itself gives 404 error page for unknown request > > thanks in advance -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
