.htaccess redirect only for resources

Question

i'm trying a solution to have something like that:

/dev/base/route.php -> include "/dev/base/mysite/index.php"

for php of course i've no problem using this system , all code is properly working, but for html tags ( such as <img , <link etc.. ) i need to redirect the requests to ./dev/base/mysite/ directory.

I'm trying to solve it using htaccess (without changing url bar), using this code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond /mysite/$0 -f
RewriteCond /mysite/$0 -d
RewriteRule ^$ /mysite/$0 [L]

but it doesn't work. ( i'm not very skilled in mod_rewrite )

also, i cannot specify /dev/base/ path statically in htaccess file, it should be solved "automatically" because it can change according to workstation.

so i need something that in pseudo-php code syntax should resemble it:

if ( file_exists(SITE_ROOT_DIR."/mysite/".$request) && !file_exists(SITE_ROOT_DIR."/".$request) )
   $url=SITE_ROOT_DIR."/mysite/".$request;
else
   $url=SITE_ROOT_DIR."/".$request;

thank you in advance!

Change your code with this:

RewriteBase /dev/base/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l
## don't do anything
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/dev/base/mysite/$1 -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/dev/base/mysite/$1 -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/dev/base/mysite/$1 -l
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ mysite/$1 [L]
