[Resolved] [Resolved] .HTTPACCESS / ForceType (Friendly URL)

[s9psilver]

Hello everyone.

I know it has been discused 100's of times, but I was wondering if someone could awnser me a stupid question.

Im working in Windows XP (love it or hate it, its what im using), how on earth do I make the text file called ".htaccess"? Windows won't allow me to do so because it techncaly doesn't have a file-name (just an extention).

Does anyone have a file I can Right-Click 'save as', as that seems to work.

And while im at it, i've developed this: http://www.microbite.co.uk/products.php/0/500

The first var ('0') is all products starting with a '0' and the seconed is starting at product 500 in the MySQL query.

Only problem, Google doesn't seem to be picking it up at all 🙁, I recone this is because of the ".php" part in the URL. After I sort that all out, i'll add '.htm' so it actualy does look like a new page.

Does anyone have a good artical that'll tell me how to sort this out?

Thanks everyone for your help, I really do apprechate it.

Ok, i've got the 'save as' thing now, its quite stupid, you have to set the 'save as' to 'all files' and put in the full path like "C:.htaccess".

Bloody windows.

Im currently doing it in the format of a custom error page like

ErrorDocument 404 /products.php

But I don't know how to get it to pass on the vars, any help at all?

I've fixed it,

It's actualy very easy...

In the .HTACCESS file, put in the following

<Files products>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

Then re-name the 'products.php' to 'products'.

Hay-Presto, there you go.
