mod rewrite filetype

[Dragen]

okay.. I know this is simple to do, but I just can't figure it out.

I'm trying to mod-rewrite my .php file extensions to .html, or anything for that matter.

I've seen examples so many time, but I just can't find any now I'm wanting them

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a mod re-write to change file extensions in the url?

thanks

Are you asking how to process .html files as though they where .php? You don't need mod_rewrite for that. Add the following to your .htaccess file.

 

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

[Dragen]

no, I'm using .php files.

in the url it says something like:

www.mydomain.com/index.php

 

I want to change it to say:

www.mydomain.com/index.html

 

But still using the php files...

Is that possible?

[Dragen]

Okay.. what I've got is this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+).html$ .php

which will get any .hml file from the url.. such as

http://www.mydomain.com/index.html

and transfer it to:

http://www.mydomain.com/.php

 

Obviously not quite right... how do I get it to keep the page name (i.e 'index') so that I can use it for the rewrite?

[trq]

Something like...

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ $1.php [L]

 

will direct index.html to index.php, home.html to home.php etc etc.

thanks!

I've just been searching more and came up with this, which seems to work:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+).html$ $1.php

 

what does the following snippets of code do?

!-f
!-d
$1

I don't know what the $1 does, but it seemed to work...

thanks

[trq]

The part between the braces ([a-z0-9]+) is captured and placed within $1.

[Dragen]

okay, thanks!

Thanks for helping...

can I make the mod rewrite only effect urls which don't include certain words? such as 'reg'.

so this url would get re-written:

mydomain.com/myfile.html

but this wouldn't:

mydomain.com/myfilereg.html
