Question

I want to hide file extensions from a URL like
if the current URL is

http://localhost/salsgiver/administrator/menus.php?sect=about

then the new one will be exactly

http://localhost/salsgiver/administrator/menus/sect/about

and so on, similary if the current URL is

http://localhost/salsgiver/administrator/products.php?id=1

then the new one will be exactly

http://localhost/salsgiver/administrator/products/1

Or some thing different, so that the viewer could not guess the exact URL.

I searched Google and found some matter on

http://roshanbh.com.np/2008/02/hide-php-url-rewriting-htaccess.html

and also used, but it does not work and the mod_rewrite module is also enabled in Apache. And when I create the .htaccess file to secure a folder from all using

deny from all

it works fine.

Answer 1

You could do this, but mod_rewrite is much easier to use if you use a single index.php which then chooses which file to open (products.php or menus.php)

For a single index file:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?query=$1 [L]

For multiple files:

RewriteRule ^(.*?)/(.*?)/(.*?)$ $1.php?$2=$3 [L]
