PHP, Apache, and Directories

[dbdamnedman]

Hello,

I am having some trouble.

Right now, my users access pages on my website by going to separate PHP scripts that "look" like directories (using $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'])

So for example, you could go to: /dir1/screenshots.php/dir2/filename.html

But it is still obvious it is a PHP script. What I want it to look like is: /dir1/screenshots/dir2/filename.html

Is there ANY way I can do this without actually having to make tons of directories?

Thanks in advance for an help.

mod_rewrite seems to be the most flexible way to do it.

Another way to do it would be to use .htaccess (SetHandler, I think) to specify that the file is to be processed by PHP even without a .php extension.

If you're not running Apache, I'm not sure what the equivalent mechanisms are. Neither of those is as portable as PATH_INFO.

I'd just leave it as-is.
