genzedu777 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi guys, I have a question. I usually see websites that comes with extended .php name, when call upon abc.php script, the url will appear as example: www.abc.com/abc.php However I also realised that there are websites I have seen, in your IE or firefox where you type in the URL, the url name seems to have ommited the '.php' extension example: www.abc.com/abc I'm just curious, how can this be done? Anyone? Thanks Wilson Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/206523-url-with-ommited-php-extension/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 This is done with the Apache rewrite module. Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/206523-url-with-ommited-php-extension/#findComment-1080300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
genzedu777 Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hi kenrbnsn, Thank you so much for the answer, however I'm just curious. Beside making the URL look neater, what other benefits?

WIlson You could make a messy folder look clean by using this, Hacks wouldn't know your folder/file names. Basically Just keeping shit clean and making sure they can't find where your source is located. (Don't give it away in the source code like iframes and such) I don't know anymore... sorry Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/206523-url-with-ommited-php-extension/#findComment-1080936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
