big mod_rewrite problem

[zander1983]

Hi

 

I have found a pretty fundamental problem with mod_rewrite. I want to rewrite a url from

product_details.php?productid=product_name

 

to

 

product/product_name

 

the product_details.php is being linked to from a few different pages, so i dont want to change code in it.

 

Mod_rewrite is working and it does redirect to product_details.php?productid=product_name, except none of the styles or includes loads. this is because the stylesheet is located at style/style.css and includes at includes/menu.php.

 

even though the product_details.php page is being loaded for the url  product/product_name, the styles & includes are not as its looking for them in the non existent product folder.

 

how can i get around this problem? do i have to use absolutle url's? i dont want to as i'll have to change them when i go from localhost to the test server, to the server.

 

anybody any ideas?
