dare87 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 what would you need to place in the htaccess file so that it showed www.domain.com and not www.domain.com/something.php ? I've looked at iframes, but don't want to use that solution. Is there another way to do it?

cags Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Difficult to say, your description is a little vague. Do you wish the user to type www.domain.com into the address bar and the viewer to actually see the file www.domain.com/something.php? If so then you could simply place... DirectoryIndex something.php ... in your htaccess file. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/179150-htaccess/#findComment-945268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dare87 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 on the main index page I am going to have a form input box where they can type a name. When they click submit it will take them to www.domain.com/WHATTHEYTYPED I just don't want them to know that it's simply a sub directory.

cags Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Something like...

cags Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 if a filename/directory requested doesn't exist then it forwards to http://www.example.com/requested_file_name.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/179150-htaccess/#findComment-945485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
