Removing .php from url

[Pests]

Is there a way to remove php from a url?

example.com/view.php becomes
example.com/view

And also allow slashes after?

example.com/view/one/two/

In .htaccess

you do this with mod_rewrite, which i'm currently trying to get my brain around.

your first problem would be something like

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /([0-9a-z]+) /siteengine/$1.php
</IfModule>

that takes the original rule, and puts the stuff in the brackets into $1

hope that makes more sense to you than it is for me!

I know it can be done without mod_rewrite in htaccess though.

Isn't it configurable what extension php is associated with? Can you completely remove the extension?

I use mod_rewrite on one of my sites.

[weekender]

configuring the extension to work with php wouldn't work - you still have .php at the end of all your files, you just don't want to use it in the url

try learning mod_rewrite - it's not going to be too difficult, and that is how everyone else does it?

Actually, yo don't need the php extension at the end of the file. You can tell apache to use the php for any extension or create your own custom extensions as well
