Derleek Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Ok, so I would like the ability to not display the .php file extension on some of my pages. Is apache mod_rewrite what i'm looking for? I just don't want to choke down this article if It's not even what i'm looking for... lol Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121738-looking-to-ditch-the-php-extension/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhodesa Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 yeah, mod_rewrite is the way to go. if you want a DIFFERENT extension, like .html pages running like PHP pages, that is something different though Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121738-looking-to-ditch-the-php-extension/#findComment-628024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 yeah, mod_rewrite is the way to go. if you want a DIFFERENT extension, like .html pages running like PHP pages, that is something different though You can mask php pages as html pages with mod_rewrite too... Though there are other ways of course. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121738-looking-to-ditch-the-php-extension/#findComment-628042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFilmGod Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 hey - I was wondering if someone can explain to me how mod_rewrite works! I know that you can change the url / name of the a page, but what if a user copies and pastes the link... would it still work?

I know that you can change the url / name of the a page, but what if a user copies and pastes the link... would it still work? Yes it will still work. it is simply a way to have apache map one url to another. eg; http://yourdomain.com/foo/bar -> http://yourdomain.com/index.php?section=foo&article=bar Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121738-looking-to-ditch-the-php-extension/#findComment-628383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

akitchin Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 it doesn't know the difference, it simply follows the rules it's given. that's why you have to be careful with your rules.

You'd do this by setting up a rewrite conditions to check to see if the requested url is not a existing file/directory, example RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d # your RewriteRule's continue here Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121738-looking-to-ditch-the-php-extension/#findComment-628891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
