Ok guys, I'm pretty sure I'm REALLY close, though I need a little help.... I've looked at a LOT of different resources on mod_rewrite and am ALMOST there. I'm trying to make it so that apache will see a file (any file with any name and a .php extension) in the url and then redirect that url from www.domain.com/index.php to www.domain.com/index THAT part I am succesful at doing, now it is making the server think that /index points to that /index.php file. Here is my .htaccess right now: [code] RewriteEngine on Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.php$ /$1 [R] [/code] This code DOES work, and won't throw the server into a infinite loop because it HAS to have the .php extension to be picked up by the server and it outputs things without that extension. NOW, the problem is, this throws 404 errors because it's looking for a file named "index" with no extension, therefore, this WON'T work unless I make every one of my .php files no longer have an extension, which would suck and I won't do. This I know won't work though: [code] <Files *> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Files> [/code] The reason why that wouldn't work is the fact that I'm not going to have a ton of files floating around with no extension, it's messy, and pointless. AHHH I'm pulling out my hair, does anyone know what I could do? -austen
