Apache ForceType Question

[kbc1]

Hi all

I am looking into implementing my first 'Tidy URL's Site' and one of the methods is the Apache ForceType implementation which uses the following code in the .htacess file:

<files page>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

My question is this, as the above will only work for a document called "page" in my web folder, is there a way of editing the above code to include all my files, or even a way of specifying the names in the same bit of code above?

Or do i have to have the code repeated x number of times in my htaccess file for each page in my web folder like such:

<files page>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

<files anotherpage>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

<files page3>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

etc etc...

Thanks in advace

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ .php/$1 [L]

Files with .php extensions will be able to show without

(in other words, put site.com/page in your browser address bar and it will load page.php but without the .php extension at the end in the url)

At least I think it will work, never actually tried it. I found it online some time ago.

Thansk but it didn't work. Page cannot be displayed.

I think I typo'd the last line. Try this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.php [L]

Or maybe

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]

On my website about physics http://splung.com there are several pages which need to operate without the .php extension for search engine friendly URLs. I used a .htaccess file which contains:

<Files ~(page1 | page2)>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

where page1 and page2 are the names of the files you wish to run without the php extension.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info drnedflanders, but I have another question after looking at your website.

When you visit your homepage of your site, it immediatley redirects you to a page called 'main'. i.e. domain.com/main

How did you get this work friom your index.php page? I would liketo achieve something exactly the same with a small site i am beginning to build where ultimately the user hits the domain.com page and i redirect them to domain.com/mypage

Thanks in advance

Just to add to my last question, i can redirect my script to any script by using include or require then putting an exit(); statement, but its actually getting the 'mypage' to display in my domain is what I am after.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

To answer post #6

In index.php put

<?php header('Location: http://example.com/main'); exit; ?>

I have no idea what post #7 is talking about however...
