Yes, this can be done easily.

What have you tried so far? Should this force an external redirech to domain.com/register or should register.php be calles internally when domain.com/register was requested?

[Guest]

i would like it so the .php does not appear in the url

this is purely for asthetic reasons

thanks!

[Caterham]

so it would be request of domain.com/register --> register.php

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^.]+) /$1.php [L]

[Guest]

hmm that doesnt seem to work

heres what i had previously:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^site/(.*) /detail.php?siteid=$1
RewriteRule ^cat/(.*) /index.php?catid=$1

is something there conflicting with the new rule?

Try it this way with a $

[Guest]

i think that did the trick

thanks for the quick and accurate help!

[Guest]

is it correct to assume now i can pretty much delete any ".php" references in my code?

[Caterham]

yes, your html-links must point to xy instead of xy.php

The rule will work for all subdirs like /test/register --> test/register.php but there must not be a dot: /test/reg.ister would not work
