Dumb ULR question

[rgordon83]

ok, have a kind of stupid question.

The sub pages of my site are only working with the extension .php

How can i mage it when a person goes to www.mysite.com/page1 they get the actual page one and they don't have to go to www.mysite.com/page1.php

Right now i have page1.php in the root directory...

thanks!

Create a folder for it (ie: create a folder named page1)

Rename page1.php to index.php and move it into the page1 folder.

cool.

also, would there be a way to redirect www.Mystie.com/Page1 to www.Mystie.com/Page1.php with an .htaccess file or something?

Yes, but it would be more easily done (in my opinion) to do a PHP redirect:

<?php
header("Location: page1.php");
?>

sorry for more stupidity, so would that go in the index file under the page1 directory?

Yes it would, at the very top of the page code (or as the only code in that file).

if you want to do it through .htaccess google mod rewrite. You can do it without creating folders that way.

# if it's not already on
RewriteEngine on

# requested file doesn't exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# no . (dot) in filename
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^[^.]+$
# add .php to filename
RewriteRule (.*) /$1.php [L]
