mod_rewrite changes my <img src=

[superfly]

Hello, I've got a bit of a problem with mod_rewrite.

I am rewriting urls that look like this:
presents-cerruti.php?code=N4359&descripton=some_present

into URL's that look like this:
presents-cerruti/N4359/some_present

with this rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^presents-cerruti/(.*)/(.*) /presents-cerruti.php?code=$1&description=$2

The problem is, when I click the link, the images dont't work anymore, because the URL is rewritten and the images can't be found.

How can I avoid this?

How are the URLs formated in the images? Are they using
PHP, maybe specific images per something in the URL, etc?

Also whats the path to the relative path
to the images from the root?

Pretty much as Jonathan says.
You probably have your image tag setup to be <img src="image.gif">
Therefore when you use your custom URLs, it will be looking for

/presents-cerruti/N4359/some_present/image.gif

You need to tell your image tags to look in the base URL rather than the sub folders.

You may put in the head section of your pages the line
<base href="http://www.yoursite.com"> and refer to the images (and other files, like css and javascripts) relatively to the server root (eg. <img src=images/myimage.gif>).
