i have a script that uploads images, creates a hash for it, creates 3 directories, and stores the image to 

imgs/f3s/v5g/234/536_f3sv5g2344270fd093ee8a9bf8de3de32dad.jpg

(the “536_” is the user id)

so im trying to turn

imgs/f3s/v5g/234/536_f3sv5g2344270fd093ee8a9bf8de3de32dad.jpg

into

user_pics/536/536_f3sv5g2344270fd093ee8a9bf8de3de32dad.jpg

how can i do that? i want that if someone wants to view the photo, they see the new directory in the url, not the one with 3 sub directories.

EDIT

So jon's method works but but i need to add RewriteRule .* index.php/$1 [PT,L] to my htaccess. when i add that, everything stops working how come?

this is what i currently have so far

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$1 [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^user_pics/([^/]+)/[^]+(.{3})(.{3})(.{3})(.*).(jpe?g|gif|png)$ /imgs/$2/$3/$4/$1_$2$3$4$5.$6 [L]

Try:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^user_pics/([^/]+)/[^_]+_(.{3})(.{3})(.{3})(.*)\.(jpe?g|gif|png)$ /imgs/$2/$3/$4/$1_$2$3$4$5.$6 [L]

  • thanks but that didnt work – flyenig Sep 17 '12 at 22:28
  • nvm it worked but there is a problem... i need to have this rule in my htaccess `RewriteRule .* index.php/$1 [PT,L]` when i take it out it works, but when i put it in it doesnt. why>? – flyenig Sep 17 '12 at 22:33
  • @flyenig You want to put the redirect rule above any routing rules (e.g. your "route everything to `index.php`" rule). – Jon Lin Sep 17 '12 at 22:38
  • ok i put that before the index.php rule and now my whole site gives me a 500 error, what am i doing wrong? – flyenig Sep 17 '12 at 23:14
