.htaccess changing directory

Question

I don't know if title is correctly placed.

I am using .htaccess trying to write readable urls. I am using following configuration. You can get fill .htaccess in the link provided.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

I have created simplest scenario. Here is a zipped file for the code (Sorry if I am not allowed to put personal site here.)

If you download the zipped file, and extract and use it in local system and perform following action, you will get what I am trying to say.

assuming

localhost/htaccess

as the root of my provided code.

if you try localhost/htaccess/first

it executes as expected

if you add one "/" at the end as localhost/htaccess/first/

all the folder structure changes. You can see the changes too.

At first case, it assumes

localhost/htaccss

as root, and loads other files (css, images) from there.

In second case, it assumes

localhost/htaccess/first/

as root and loads other files after first/. But expected location was htaccess/

I could not explain this in word, so I provided example url with sample case scenario.

Edit header.php so your stylesheet is relative to the root rather than the path so it can be found regardless of the ending slash:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/htaccess/assets/css/style.css" />

Alternatively, you could point the base path to where you need it pointed:

<base href="http://localhost/htaccess/" />
