Question

When I link to a file in a directory, I want to open that file as a param in a php program.

For example, I have a directory temp, and files aa.txt, bb.txt, and test.php. When I link to aa.txt it should be handled like test.php?f=aa.txt.

What do I change in the .htaccess file?

the code in the test.php

<?php
$f=$_GET['f'];
if(@file_exists($f)){
    $inhoud = file_get_contents($f);
}else{
    $inhoud = "Not found\n";
}
print "hallo <hr>".$inhoud;

?>

You want to use mod_rewrite, and define rules like the following within a .htaccess file in the directory you want it to apply to:

# Enable mod_rewrite
RewriteEngine on

# If the request is an actual file and not test.php...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !test.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f

# ... then rewrite the URL to pass the filename as a parameter to test.php
RewriteRule /(.*)$ test.php?f=$1 [QSA]
