stripping extension (and more) from url

[fortnox007]

Hi all,

 

I just managed to make a little mod_rewrite rule which manages to interpret url's without the extension and calls the right file with the extension (ie. /articles  calls  articles.php) . But now i am left with another question which i am almost certain has nothing to do with mod_rewrite, but rather with a php trick.

 

In case someone enters on my site  www.mydomain.com/laalalalala.php

How do i get rid of that last part(the extension for example)? Do i maybe have to get the GET['var'] and run it through a regex and reload the page with the stripped version?

 

That was all i could think off but it sound so complicated.

if anyone has an idea i would love to hear it

cheers!

 

P.s.s if anyone want's that rewrite rule, let me know. I saw quite some people on the internet looking for it

Well mod rewrite should be able to handle that without much problem anyhow

hmm, you might be right sorry if this is in the wrong forum than 

 

Just to make sure i am,.. i want to visually change the address in the browser of the visitor.

sorry again if i misplaced it

 

i have this in my htaccess but its not changing anything(visibly), that's why i thought to reload the page with by using getvariables

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)(/.*)?$ /$1\.php$2

By default mod_rewrite will do it invisibly. If you want to actually redirect the browser then add the [R] flag.

 

Like

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule (^|/)([^/]+)\.php$ $1 [R]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php [L]

Oh wow!

Thanks a bunch requinix! I'll certainly try that code out looks complicated at first sight but I'am sure it's good to read after a while. Thanks a lot!!
