Another alternative, if mod_rewrite confuses you as much as it does me... .htaccess <Files folder> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Files> DocumentIndex folder folder <?php $pathinfo = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']; //I always forget if it's PATHINFO or... //do whatever you want with the $pathinfo to include the right code or return the right content or... ?> On the plus side, this doesn't force people into example.com when they went to www.example.com -- It just works. :-) PS I you do stick with mod_rewrite, turn mod_rewrite_debug *ON* and tail -f your http error_log for awhile. You'll learn a lot about what will/won't work for mod_rewrite in your rules... The warnings about mod_rewrite debugging/logging performance issues are a bit over-stated, I think... Or, at least, you need to do this on a development server with "real" traffic patterns for your testing, if doing it live is a non-option. Doing it on only the URLs *you* think of typing doesn't count. Those pesky real users can come up with some really interesting URLs to type... :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
