Question

Reaching files outside od the documentroot scope

Answer 1

+3 A:

Combine RewriteRule with Alias maybe ?

Alias /randomimage /sites/website/components/randomimage
RewriteRule ^component-(.*)/randomimage/(.*)$ /randomimage/$1/$2 [R,L]

(Won't work in .htaccess though)

You could probably also use Symlinks with:

Options +FollowSymLinks

And link dynamically components-/randommimage/ to /sites/website/components/randomimage///

I cannot combine RewriteRule with alias because i don't know the name of the directory that the component is located.Symlinks would work but as far as i know windows doesn't have symlinks and i want this application to work on all os's.

Then you probably need to give us more than one example on what you want to achieve exactly...If this is really dynamic stuff (like no part of the url ever stays the same), I'm afraid this might have to be implemented in the Application logic directly.

I understand now that what i want to achieve can only be implemented in the Application logic. thanks!!
