.css file doesn't get carried out - php

Question

Style.css doesn't get carried out when url is http://example.com/mvc/login/requestsExceeded,
but it does in my login index page that is http://example.com/mvc/login,
if I add forward slash http://example.com/mvc/login/, then it doesn't work either.
mvc = site in subdirectory
login = controller
requestsExceeded = view
.css file is in http://www.example.com/mvc/views/themes/default/style.css
The file path is ok becouse i've tryed like this:
<?php if(file_exists("views/themes/{$theme}/style.css")) echo 'TEST'; ?>
<link href="views/themes/<?=$theme;?>/style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
and it does echo out TEST.
Here my simplified router:
<?php
$controller = "Index";
$action = "index";
$query = null;
if (isset($_GET['load']))
{
$params = array();
$params = explode("/", $_GET['load']);
$controller = ucwords($params[0]);
if (isset($params[1]) && !empty($params[1]))
{
$action = $params[1];
}
if (isset($params[2]) && !empty($params[2]))
{
$query = $params[2];
}
}
$modelName = $controller;
$controller .= 'Controller';
$load = new $controller($modelName, $action);
if (method_exists($load, $action))
{
$load->{$action}($query);
}
else
{
die('Invalid method. Please check the URL.');
}
I'm pretty sure that this is caused by .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?load=$1 [PT,L]
-I would like to restrict all access unless index.php...,
-Allow access to .css,.gz,.js and image files,
-remove the forward slash from url,
-redirect 301 to index.php,
-redirect http://example.com/mvc/home to index.php,
Help would be appreciated!

Change your import to
<link href="/mvc/views/themes/<?=$theme;?>/style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
If you want the same link to work from anywhere in your site, then you'd better let the path be absolute, that is start with /.
