[RESOLVED] parse files without a php extension / hiding extension in URL

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Is there a nifty trick to parse files without a php extension or hide the .php extension in URL

Need to make a url like:

[url]http://www.mydomain.tld/support[/url]

just to make it friendly for a customer to type it in. Now I have considered a redirect, but a redirect isn’t a script I would really like to write and a server redirect isn’t dynamic.

Is there any other way? I just don’t know how I am going to get it recognized as a php file or script if I didn’t call it as one.

Thanks in Advanced

<i>
</i>DirectoryIndex mypage.php

Upload the file to your FTP's "/support" directory. Then rename the file

from:
htaccess.txt
into:
.htaccess
No, that is not a typeo. Special files have a leading period and no file name -- only an extension.

Now whenever someone browses to the page http://www.mydomain.tld/support it will be the same as entering http://www.mydomain.tld/support/mypage.php
