Hi Frank. Thanks for the reply. Not converting. But I've seen example open source demo/apps where the app/url http://www.foo.com/a http://www.foo.com/b are valid... and when I inspect the dir, I get a.php - b.php... So I'm assuming that there's something happening in the httpd.conf that's "hiding"/handling the ".php" extension. So, trying to understand, so I can do my own personal test. thanks On Mon, Oct 16, 2023 at 12:25 PM Frank Gingras <thumbs@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > You should use multviews, so that if you request /a, it will expand to a.php. > > Converting a.php to b.php makes no sense; why would you request another script in that case? > > You should also look at the FallbackResource directive, and use pathinfo to handle URI parameters, instead of the query string. > > On Mon, Oct 16, 2023 at 12:19 PM bruce <badouglas@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> running apache2 >> old copy of centos >> >> trying to understand how to test a few things. >> >> I can have >> http://www.abc.com/a.php >> >> a.php can fire off a page to "b.php" >> >> I'm trying to figure out what to do in the httpd.conf file to >> "ignore/hide" the .php >> >> so the displayed url would be >> http://www.abc.com/b >> or >> http://www.abc.com/b?qq=1&w=2..... >> >> any pointers would be helpful! >> >> oh, the test is a subdir off the main /var/www/html/testapp << >> >> thanks >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
