Yup, I tried this and it kind-of works, but still leads to some weird
behaviour.

That's a nice trick - I'll have to remember that. My rules are
in .htaccess (as seems normal for 'deployable' systems) so I don't
need to restart apache and it's easy to twiddle with them, and
besides, I like regexes ;^) The issue isn't really the passing of
parameters (which your approach deals with very nicely), it's that
PHP gets fooled into thinking that it's somewhere that it's not. The
most annoying thing about this problem is that I'm sure it should
'just work', and I know I've seen it do so before in both my scripts
and others - Serendipity has an almost identical setup for rewrites
and it doesn't do anything special to work with them - all this
futzing with paths that mod_rewrite does is long finished by the time
that PHP gets to hear about anything - PHP never has to know the real
URL, it should be happy to deal with the rewritten one.
The problem seems to be that given the incoming URL:
/x/123
this gets rewritten to
/x.php?x=123
and it does run the correct script in the correct directory, however,
once it's running PHP acts as if it had said:
/x/x.php?x=123
Which just breaks paths everywhere. I know that this is what the
passthrough option is supposed to deal with, but removing it doesn't
help either. Maybe I should look more carefully at my RewriteBase etc.
I've asked in sitepoint apache forums too, see if anyone there has
any idea.
Thanks for the ideas.
