Question

My web is dir structured is as follows :

moving/
      includes/
      controllers/
      includes/
      etc…

I have the following questions about /moving and all of its sub-diretories:

1. How can i request any php script without the .php extension?
2. How can i request ...dir/index.php?q=about as just ...dir/about?
3. Where woul i place my .htaccess file?

I understand that my first question might be a duplicate, but in order to contextualize my second and third question i had to ask it.

Using WampServer 2.0
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

apache will not parse your php script if they don’t have the “.php” extention.

but, you can use mod_rewrite:

This module uses a rule-based
rewriting engine (based on a
regular-expression parser) to rewrite
requested URLs on the fly. It supports
an unlimited number of rules and an
unlimited number of attached rule
conditions for each rule, to provide a
really flexible and powerful URL
manipulation mechanism. The URL
manipulations can depend on various
tests, of server variables,
environment variables, HTTP headers,
or time stamps. Even external database
lookups in various formats can be used
to achieve highly granular URL
matching.

This module operates on the full URLs
(including the path-info part) both in
per-server context (httpd.conf) and
per-directory context (.htaccess) and
can generate query-string parts on
result. The rewritten result can lead
to internal sub-processing, external
request redirection or even to an
internal proxy throughput.internal proxy throughput.
