mod_rewrite with subdirectory

Question

I have a page called category.php and inside of it I have links to articles and others categories.

To open an article that is inside of a category, the code is:

<a href='article/". $art_id ."'> Article 1 </a>

To open other category that is inside of category, the code is:

<a href='category/". $cat_id ."'> Category 2 </a>

I have this code on .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^category/([a-z0-9]+)$ category.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^article/([a-z0-9]+)$ article.php?id=$1

category 1 open just fine, but when I click in a link inside of category page to open an article or other category, the link turns:

http://www.example.com/category/article/1
http://www.example.com/category/category/2

Both URLs results on page not found, what is best to do to have it organized?

Something like:

http://www.example.com/category/1/article/1

The problem is not in `mod_rewrite` - it is in your links. They are relative to current path, so they should be either `` or just `` Study - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2005079/absolute-vs-relative-urls — Cheery, Oct 11 '14 at 22:10

You can also add a relative URI base to the header of your pages:

<base href="/" />
