Re: URLs

This may or may not be a PHP question - I'll let the group decide. Note this URL:

http://www.someplace.com/SomeDirectory/SomeFile

compared to this URL:

http://www.someplace.com/SomeDirectory/SomeFile.php

Okay. How does one create the URL with no file extension? Is this done through PHP or is this a server setting? Thanks in advance!

A number of ways. You could use mod_rewrite, though you shouldn't if you care at all about performance.

Directories. ie. Make SomeFile a directory with an index.php file in it. You will end up up with a trailing slash on the URL though.

ForceType (IIRC). Use this directive in Apache to specify that SomeFile is actually be parsed by PHP. SomeFile should be a PHP script. Or SomeDirectory could actually be a PHP file again used with ForceType which inspects the URL and serves up the correct content.

The ForceType method is used on phpguru.org to make "static" look like a directory. It's actually a PHP file that shows the correct template based on the URL.

Eg:

http://www.phpguru.org/static/positioning.html
