I have a directory structure like this http://host.com/map/tiles/{tile type}/*.png where {tile type} can be one of multiple directories named based on the tile type. ideally, Id like to place the .htaccess file in the map directory, and set the rule something like this: ^tiles/(dir1 | dir2 | dir3)/x-y-z.png drawtile.php I want to have drawtile.php located in the map directory, and be able to pass it the tile tpe (name of dir1,dir2, dir3..dirN) as in your example... However, I cant get the .htaccess rule to redirect from the upper-level directory. I've only managed to get it to work by placing the .htaccess rule at the same level as the .png tiles, within the /tiles/{tile_type}/ directory, but then I lose the ability to distinguish from which directory the .png is being requested (since the .htaccess isnt aware of what directory its located in, it only is aware of the file name, x-y-z.png, and not tiles/(dirName)/x-y-z.png)... any advice on how to get this to work? please help... in what directory does the .htaccess file go?
