Regarding .htaccess

[pakiman]

So I am creating a website that the individual would like to have his website as /shop/123 instead of shop.php?id=123. I have been using .htaccess and it's working to show it that but it's blocking my other scripts from working

RewriteRule ^items/p/([0-9]+)/?$ /items.php?page=$1

It is blocking this from being used 

<input type="text" class="search" id="inputSearch" />
<div id="divResult">
</div>

It's blocking my javascript from running and its this 

$(function(){
$(".search").keyup(function() 
{ 
var inputSearch = $(this).val();
var dataString = 'searchword='+ inputSearch;
if(inputSearch!='')
{
      $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: "search.php",
      data: dataString,
      cache: false,
      success: function(html)
      {
      $("#divResult").html(html).show();
      }
      });
}return false;    
});

jQuery("#divResult").live("click",function(e){ 
      var $clicked = $(e.target);
      var $name = $clicked.find('.name').html();
      var decoded = $("<div/>").html($name).text();
      $('#inputSearch').val(decoded);
});
jQuery(document).live("click", function(e) { 
      var $clicked = $(e.target);
      if (! $clicked.hasClass("search")){
      jQuery("#divResult").fadeOut(); 
      }
});
$('#inputSearch').click(function(){
      jQuery("#divResult").fadeIn();
});
});

Can anyone help me with this?

As you can tell,

RewriteRule ^items/p/([0-9]+)/?$ /items.php?page=$1

has absolutely nothing in common with

url: "search.php",

So what do you mean by it's "blocking" scripts? Are you getting 404s? Or what? What else have you changed in the .htaccess recently?

So while your on items/ the search box works but when you use the items/buy... it does not work

Oh.

 

Here's a question I'll pose for you:

 

If the browser is currently displaying the page at

http://www.example.com/items/p/123/

and you tell it to make an AJAX request to search.php

url: "search.php",

what do you think the full URL to that page will be?

[pakiman]

That the question I have

[Jacques1]

To make it short: Virtual paths like /items/p/ and relative physical paths like search.php don't go well together. The browser will end up trying to access nonsense URLs like /items/p/search.php, because it assumes it's actually within the directory /items/p/.

 

Use absolute paths instead. For example, if your PHP script is directly below the document root, that's

/search.php

In the long run, you should also consider switching to virtual (“pretty”) URLs altogether. Then you can completely decouple the physical script paths from the URLs.

Thank you soooo much. Something so basic that I totally forgot. Thanks again man.
