without php extension

kula

Hi
I would like to make a file without php extension,
At the moment the URL like this
http://www.mydomain.com/script.php/param
the URL is not friendly for users so I want to create URL without .php, the URL like this http://www.mydomain.com/script/param ..

Can anyone please explain how to do that ?

Thanks

Not possible afaik. Use Java servlets 😉

I'm not an expert with Apache directives so I don't know if you could set up something in httpd.conf (my thought is Apache wants an extension so it knows what to do).

The other thought is to use URL rewriting. I've got URL rewriting setup to clean up my PHP URLs with one of my sites. I don't have access to the files at this moment. But look around .htaccess and URL rewrite or rewriting. You'll need to be somewhat comfy with regular expressions.

Didn't think of mod_rewrite actually, good idea.

Still any URL containing string would get rewritten, no matter the type (including directories as the poster wants to pass parameters using the PATH_INFO global 😉 )

you can do a force type of script... so make a script called
myscript.php

rename it
myscript

add to .htaccess
<Files /myscript>
ForceType php-script #if phpcgi
ForceType application/x-httpd-php #if mod_php
</Files>

Then depending on phpcgi or mod_php, you can read in the request_uri (mod_php) or create a rewrite rule to change anything after myscript to ?info and then read in the request_query information (i dont remember the syntax for that rewrite tho)
