Prevent CSS URL from htaccess rewrite

Question

I'm creating a standard rewrite with .htaccess to do this

http://www.myurl.com/post/{id}/

RewriteRule    ^post/([0-9]+)/?$    post.php?id=$1    [NC,L]

Now, it works perfectly but all others external URL ( for example CSS and JavaScript ) do not work, rightly. Is there a way to prevent it without having to change all the url ? I searched on Google without success, any ideas ?

You will need an additional rule to fix css, js, images links:

# your rewrite rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^post/([0-9]+)/?$ post.php?id=$1 [QSA,NC,L]

# fix css, js, image links
RewriteRule ^post/(.+?\.(?:jpe?g|gif|bmp|png|tiff|css|js))$ /$1 [NC,L]

Alternatively make sure to just use absolute path in your css, js, images files rather than a relative one. Which means you have to make sure path of these files start either with http:// or a slash /

Or make sure that all your paths are relative to the site root (i.e. include /css/stylesheet.css instead of css/stylesheet.css in your HTML code).

Simply exclude physical files from your condition

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule    ^post/([0-9]+)/?$    post.php?id=$1    [NC,L]

Good answer, I would definitely change this, but anubhava's answer addresses the real problem.

That actually won't help if relative css paths is being used and path is becoming for ex. /post/css/style.css

Exactly, it is just the first step for having files accessible.

You have to access your files by their real path, not using post/. If you want something with, refer to anubhava's answer ;) More explainations here : stackoverflow.com/a/15879058/1529139
