i have a path as follows:

is it possible for me to configure either php or apache in such a way that i can access this same program as:

http://localhost/myfolder/banks?id=1

I've seen this question asked before and no one has been able to give a way to do it. I don't think you can...

http://localhost/myfolder/banks?id=1 isn't possible. but http://localhost/myfolder/banks/1 is possible.

read the article "build a search engine friendly website with PHP "

------how it works--------------
add this to your .htaccess file

<Files yourphpfilename>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

it works for me. take a look

Sure you can.

Look in httpd.conf for a line that says

DefaultType text/plain

Change it to

DefaultType application/x-httpd-php

Then restart apache.

I usually like to use Apache's mod_rewrite for these types of issues.

See http://www.engelschall.com/pw/apache/rewriteguide/ for instructions.

For example, you can change a URL like

http://localhost/myfolder/banks.php?id=1

into

http://localhost/myfolder/bank1.html

By adding the following to your .htaccess file (if you have mod_rewrite installed!):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^{bank([0-9]+).html} banks.php?id=$1

Wow....very interesting. That can solve a lot of problems...

K, just make a folder entitled bank and upload bank.php as index.php into the folder. you can no access this by /bank?foo=1
