Website pages question

[jason360]

Hey guys,

 

Just building a site using php.  I would like to know how to create pages without having to make ".php" links for every page.  For example I want to build the site to be as follows:  www.mysite.com/products instead of www.mysite.com/products.php.  (Further example www.mysite.com/products/headphones )

 

An example of what I am looking for is as follows: http://www.starbucks.ca/store-locator

 

Any idea how starbucks is doing this?  It isn't making a separate folder and index for every page is it?

 

Thanks in advance!

I would say yes it is.

If all you want to do is omit file extensions then

Options +MultiViews

in a .htaccess is enough. There's also a mod_rewrite solution that's more annoying.

 

If you actually want to change the URLs into something different then "URL rewriting" is what you should be searching for.
