php extension

Anon

Dear Members,

Can anyone tell me how to hide the .php3 extenion from the url when someone came through a link to your site "http://xyz.com/abc.php3".
Now when its viewed,how can u hide that so that the address bar is shown as "http://xyz.com" or http://wyz.com/abc" and no extension is shown.
Any php3 sloutuin or function in php3 to hide/replace by other desired name.

Thanks.

Ive not seen a way to hide the url but you can cheat and use frames. make the frameset 1 col by 1 row and call it main then just update the frame the url should stay the same no matter what the page is actually on.

Mark.

I forgot to add the code....

save this as main with no extension. then change your apache config by adding

<Location /main>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php3
</Location>

then if you try to use the url of http://your.website.com/main

the index will load but the url stays as http://your.website.com/main

If you build all your pages into the index file using the querystring to display the content you can hide the filename and just use the querystring.

Have a look at www.petSmiles.com, it's all in PHP but you wont see that from the location bar.

You can change settings on your server so that it renders .htm files through php so you'll have the extension of .htm but I'm not the person to ask about that..
