remove file name and extention

[The Little Guy]

How can I remove the filename and file extention from a url?

 

Where it looks something like this:

 

http://youtube.com/watch?v=cio9b0-v0Mo

Or this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=mod+rewrite

Hi The Little Guy

 

To remove the file name and its extention, you have to write php script or use mod_rewrite module.

 

I want to show you mod_rewrite,apache module.To use this module you have a apache server,and there is a .htaccess file your host. You modify this file to change URLs.You can write and examine that rules ,

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^school/images/(.*)$  images/$1

RewriteRule ^school/(.*).html      index.php?id=$1

 

After this rule you can use www.xxx.com/school/1.html so you hide your .php extension if you want remove extensions complately,use that

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(.*)      index.php?id=$1

 

then you can use www.xx.com/1 for example.

 

take care,bye
