Alias does not work with php

[tapir]

ok I thought it didn't. what I'm trying to do is to install the
wordpress on it's own directory under the document root but I want it to
be accessible directly from mydomain.com. Wordpress allows you to do it
actually but I need a web server level solution because if I change it
in wordpress, it messes up some links (thousands) generated by poorly
designed plugins.
