How do i able to Hide My extention.
Suppose i develop a PHP page "Hello.php". Now when user want to request that page he can see that page with a page like "Hello.html" or simple "Hello". Can I do that?

Yes but its web server specific e.g. in Apache you can use MultiViews option.

So http://localhost/Hello would be the same as http://localhost/Hello.php. To make it Hello.html you would require mod_rewrite.

Or you'd simply have to name the file Hello.html.php :p

In IIS anyways, if the file is index.php; you can call to the directory i.e.

http://www.mydomain.com/user/?parameter=big.nerd

Or; if you really wanted, you can create your own exension and have IIS parse something like .bignerd as a PHP file.. (if you wanted to hide the fact you are using PHP, of course). You shouldn't use .html, and can't use .asp/.aspx, etc.
