Extension-less Files

[Anon]

Is it possible to have php parse extension-less files? Can't figure out the correct syntax for .htaccess to do this.

I'm not sure I understand what you are looking for. But I've been using AliasMatch to force certain URL's to be handled by a specific script.

AliasMatch /article(.*) /handler.php$1

This will call my script handler.php with any of the information sent after the directory /article appears. Now I can have URL's that look like /article/1/1234 and parse that out to get reply number 1234 for article number 1 in my handler script.

You should be able to configure this in httpd.conf in apache, if you are use this syntax and it might work
AddType application/x-httpd-php .*
This will force all files to be parsed by php. I am not sure how this would adversly affect anything so I wouldn't suggest it. Do you have more info on what webserver and what the reason is for needing this?

I know that you can do this on a directory
by directory basis...

<Location /directory_name>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Location>

This will force everything under the directory that you use to be parsed by PHP. This will, at least, give you some control over it.

I swore that I saw a way to do it exactly as you are thinking once, but I don't recall where.

Hope this helps you some, however.

No specific need for doing this, I was just curious to see if it was possible. I am running Apache as well. Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I'll give it a try.
